Do you think this is about people disagreeing with their contents? That seems like a strawman. People disagree with one specific religion's doctrine being forced onto students.

But, since you asked, I could definitely do without these:

• I am the Lord thy God. Thou shall not have strange gods before Me.
• Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
• Remember to keep holy the Lord's day.
• Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife. (seems a bit male-focused)

Okay real talk, you can't just "besides" the parts which make all nonAbrahamic religions, nature worship and atheism anathema, especially when you're forcing it upon children in school. And especially when those doing so have proven those are the only bits they follow and intend to enforce.

Tho shall not rape..... Not in there. Tho shall not own humans, not in there... Etc....

I disagree with the condescending nature of them as a whole - humanity knew it was bad to kill and rape before christianity. I don't need 15 commandments written by man, masquerading as the word of the creator of the universe, to teach me how to behave. Wait did I say 15?

I am the Lord thy God. Thou shall not have strange gods before Me.

I’m atheist, so this does not apply.

Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Again.

Remember to keep holy the Lord's day.

And again.

Honor thy father and mother.

Nice, but hardly something we should legislate.

Thou shall not kill.

Duh.

Thou shall not commit adultery.

Again, not something we should legislate.

Thou shall not steal.

Has merit.

Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

If extrapolate this to mean not to lie in general, then it’s good practice for life.

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods.

We’ve already covered stealing, so I imagine these are about jealously. Hardly the responsibility of the state to legislate.

So, at best I agree with 25% of the Ten Commandments, hardly a “universal code” of morality. Missing rape and slavery, pretty big omissions of you ask me.

Here are the 10 commandments:

1. You shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall make no idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.

1-4 are obviously worthless for non-Christians. 5 sounds good on paper, but there are a whole lot of parents that do a lot of harm to their children, so I don't think it's a great blanket rule

6-10 are solid, although I'd argue 10 is a bit redundant. The main issue with coveting is it can lead to 6-9. I'll give it though since I vetoed 5

5/10 on the 10 commandments. That's 50%, which is a failing grade

All that being said, I don't actually have anything against it as a concept, same as I have nothing against Mormons not drinking alcohol, or Muslims not eating pork. In all cases though, I have a problem with the government promoting the idea using tax payer funds

If they remove the non-secular rules, maybe we can talk. They won't, because it's not about "These are good rules," it's about "Remember, Christians own this place."

Thoughts on the state posting Surat Al-Isra verses 22-39 from the Quran in every classroom?

Wow. You're like a Jehovah's witness, but online! Let me take a crack at this one.

Your ten commandments tell you: "Thou shall not kill", but not: "Thou shall not murder". Leaving you Christian weirdos free reign to murder people in random wars in a way that seems totally justified to you mentally.

You ten commandments tell you to not "take the Lord's name in vain", but I see Christians everyday advocating for Jesus deporting and killing and locking up "the least of these" for no other reason than the color of their skin. Read Matthew 25:40-45 to hear about what Jesus actually wants us to do to help the poor and unfortunate around us!

Your antiquated religion makes not sense, and forcing it down other people throats just makes others more bitter and frustrated to have to hang out in the same general area as you. Either stfu or adapt to the world where Christians preach about the ten commandments, but refuse to follow any of them.

It's not about anyone agrees it but with the commandments it's about separation of church and state, will you agree if they post the Delphic Maxims or the Hindi yamas instead?

"Real talk"? This is seagulling and you know it. The posting of the commandments carries over the baggage of region in general, and Christianity in particular.

Not to mention they are in direct opposition of some of the rules of conduct of the university and civilized society (freedom of religion).

@ArgumentativeMonotheist @parricc sounds like you've either been reading Thomas Aquinas, or should read him.
