Trump supports Ten Commandments in schools, sparks controversy
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has endorsed displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools, echoing Louisiana’s recent law.
At a Faith and Freedom Coalition event in Washington, he emphasized values like “Thou shalt not steal.”
He called the Ten Commandments “incredible stuff” and criticized opposition to the displays as emblematic of what he described as a “crazy world.”
Rights groups swiftly criticized the move as unconstitutional, planning legal action.
The endorsement aims to strengthen Trump’s evangelical base despite his mixed stance on issues like a national abortion ban.
His support follows social media posts advocating broader displays of the Commandments.
Critics argue such laws promote Christian nationalism, excluding diverse beliefs.
Amid concerns over the Supreme Court’s conservative tilt, observers say the reactions highlight escalating fears of religious imposition in governance, challenging democratic principles.
