Frederica Wilson, a Democratic congresswoman from Florida, warned that Republican efforts to restore prayer in schools and post the Ten Commandments (and allegedly crucifixes) in classrooms would be hurtful to Jewish students and could be seen as anti\u2011Semitic. She criticized GOP lawmakers at a hearing, saying such measures would &#8220;break little Jewish students&#8217; feelings&#8221; and question whether they belong in those schools.The article disputes her claim, noting no Republican has proposed putting crucifixes in public schools and arguing that the Ten Commandments are shared by Judaism and Christianity and have long influenced American civic life. It characterizes Wilson&#8217;s comments as exaggerated, defends displaying basic moral teachings in schools, and suggests she should reconsider her assertions in light of the ninth commandment-&#8220;you shall not bear false witness.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>When Moses received the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai, he was receiving what would become the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-those-who-want-to-destroy-the-constitution\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro: Those Who Want to Destroy the Constitution\">core moral<\/a> and ethical teachings of the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>But a few thousand years down the line, one Democratic member of Congress would insist that those Ten Commandments were somehow a weapon of anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
