Deuteronomy 5:6-22 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

⁶ I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

⁷ Thou shalt have none other gods before me.                                       (1)     

⁸ Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: ⁹ thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, ¹⁰ and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.                                                                          (2)

¹¹ Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.                                   (3)

¹² Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. ¹³ Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: ¹⁴ but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. ¹⁵ And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.                                                (4)

¹⁶ Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee    (5)

¹⁷ Thou shalt not kill.                                         (6)             

¹⁸ Neither shalt thou commit adultery.              (7)                  

¹⁹ Neither shalt thou steal.                                 (8)

²⁰ Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.                                                                                                        (9)

²¹ Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s.                                                                                                                                       (10)                        

²² These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

 If   you think that we live in a truly free country, then try to carry and post this copy of God’s Ten Commandments into any “American” Public school. Your property taxes finance all these schools and pay the salaries of leftist teachers. Did anybody consult you how to raise and what to teach your own kids? Is that taxation without representation?

Martin Luther, on the subject of schooling, wrote 500 years ago:

“I am afraid that schools will prove to be the gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount.”
