Decalogue Builders Pay More Attention To Precedent Now

The Associated Press today reports that two new 10 Commandment monuments are being erected in southeastern Oklahoma, but with more careful attention to legal guidelines that the courts have set out. At the Atoka County Court House, the monument has several other displays near it such as a war and veterans memorial. At the dedication of the new monument, supporters were careful to talk about a celebration of America and not make it a religious service. In Coalgate, Oklahoma, a new monument is being put up on private property next to the court house lawn. The site will display the Oklahoma, American and Christian flags along with the King James version of the commandments.
