MULDROW, Oklahoma — Plaques displaying the Ten Commandments have been removed from classrooms in the Muldrow School District after its board opted to "honor thy constitution" rather than risk a federal lawsuit.

Board President Scott Chambers said the district had to remove the plaques after receiving a complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation on behalf of an unidentified student. Hundreds of school patrons packed Monday night's board meeting to protest, traveling to the high school cafeteria in vehicles adorned with Christian slogans.

Richardson said a Muldrow student had complained to the Freedom From Religion Foundation that the commandments were posted in every classroom. The organization posted a statement on its website, attributed to its co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor, that "We hope the board will honor thy constitution and heed the advice of its attorney rather than to acquiesce to pressure from a religious mob."

MULDROW, Okla. —40/29 News has learned students at one area high school spent the morning protesting their school district's decision to remove The Ten Commandment plaques from their classrooms for good.

Muldrow students told 40/29 News they were threatened with suspension if they did not stop the protest and return to class.

Students not happy with the Muldrow School District’s decision to ban The Ten Commandment plaques in classrooms wore t-shirts and staged a "sit in."

I think maybe an 'F' in American History or Government classes would be better than suspension.
