Fantastic post, particularly its final line.

I started my career in rural Arkansas just a few stone throws up the road from Louisiana, and I distinctly remember walking into my classroom to get it set up and finding two plaques sitting on my desk: one proclaiming "In God We Trust" and the other Ten Commandments.

They were donations to all the classrooms in the school that were "encouraged" to be posted prominently.

I shoved them in the deepest drawer I could find and prayed that no one would ask about them. And they never did.

But I guess they will now?
