preview

Posted: Mar 24, 2021 / 09:16 PM CDTUpdated: Mar 24, 2021 / 09:34 PM CDTNorth Dakota is one step closer to seeing the Ten Commandments displayed in classrooms throughout the state.Senate Bill 2308 passed the senate last month, with a 34 to 13 vote.Wednesday, lawmakers heard testimonies from both sides, as the House Judiciary meeting took place.Those who introduced the bill say it’s a matter of serving the majority, and their only concerns come from a federal level.“The Supreme Court, it’s kind of murky waters. They sit under the Ten Commandments. I suggest we demolish that if we can’t have Ten Commandments in our little school in North Dakota. This country was founded on Judeo-Christian values, whether people like it or not. We try to rewrite our history.That’s not going to help any of us,” said Republican Sen.

It’s a little disheartening to see that people don’t quite understand that bills like this could really harm students in school,” said Janna Farly, with the North Dakota ACLU.The committee gave the legislation a do-pass recommendation.The House will take the bill to vote at a later date.Thanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe NowThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe NowThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now✕× Close Ad
