Ten Commandments Bill Introduced

(Salt Lake City, UT) — A bill has been introduced in the legislature that would teach the Ten Commandments as a part of U.S. History. GOP Representative Logan Petersen argued in the house that the Commandments were used as inspiration by the founding fathers when crafting various articles like the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Neither Document explicitly mentions a Judeo-Christian God and the Constitution makes no reference to religion except in the first amendment giving religious freedom. The original version of the bill required schools to hang the Ten Commandments. The bill also includes the Magna Carta, the 1215 document stating the king of England and his government were not above the law. It went on to influence the Constitution of the U.S. and the world.
