From Fox News Insider:
Federal Judge Wants Ten Commandments Cut By 40%Wednesday on The Five, the hosts discussed the case brought by the ACLU on behalf of a student in Giles County, Virginia and U.S. District Judge Michael Urbanski’s suggestion that the first 4 commandments be removed and only 6 be displayed. Greg came up with 4 “P.C. Commandments” of his own to replace the ones that were nixed:
- Thou shalt not take the Obama’s name in vain
- Thou shall honor thy father and thy mother, or mother and mother, or father and father, or transgender father and transgender mother
- Thou shalt not steal, unless it’s from the rich who are not paying their fair share
- Thou shalt not commit adultery, unless you offer to pay for their birth control

Judge Suggests School Remove Commandments that Mention God
A federal judge in Virginia has proposed that two parties involved in a dispute over the display of the Ten Commandments at a public high school consider modifying the display by removing the four Commandments that mention God. U.S. District Judge Michael Urbanski said “If indeed this issue is not about God, why wouldn’t it make sense for Giles County to say, ‘Let’s go back and just post the bottom six [commandments]?’”
The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia sued the Giles County School Board on behalf of a student over a Ten Commandments display at Narrows High School, arguing that it violated the First Amendment’s protection against endorsement of religion. The school board said the Commandments were part of a larger display of historical documents and therefore not religious.
The Commandments were already removed once from the school, but the school board voted last summer to reinstall them after pressure from the community.
