TEN COMMANDMENTS: New law brings back memories

Recent news of Louisiana’s law that every classroom in the public schools must display copies of the Ten Commandments reminded me of my first year teaching sophomore English at Coeur d’Alene High School in 1961. Idaho law dictated that every teacher must read 20 verses of the Bible to the First Period class every day. The Supreme Court ended that in 1963 stating that it violated the Establishment clause of the First Amendment.
