Members of a group called "Pastors on Patrol" believe they do belong there, and they will walk the hallways of Pine Bluff schools to encourage students to follow their lessons.

"We believe that these Commandments will represent that to create positive behavior, kids learning how to treat each other, learning how to respect your parents, learning how not to pick up a gun and kill someone,” said Jesse Turner, President of the Pine Bluff Faith Community Coalition.

While Pine Bluff High School is under construction, Pastor Turner visited the temporary high school, Jack Robey Junior High School, ready to put posters of the Ten Commandments in place.

“We're here today to place these focuses on the wall for these scholars, because we believe that positive word will reduce negative behavior, and just the presence and reading of it will reduce negative behavior,” said Pastor Turner.

Pine Bluff High School principal Dr. Ronald Laurent welcomed the pastors on campus today.

“Pastors on patrol are donating copies of the Ten Commandments so that we can post them in our building,” said Laurent.

1. This is some serious bullshit right here

If this happened at my high school, when I was that age? Promise you I'd have torn as many down as I could and let the chips fall where they may afterwards.

2. Bring back civics instead!!

3. "Comrade Turner, is good to seeing you and you fellow political commisars ensuring...

...that our young comrades learn correct politics, no tainted by the reactionary propaganda of the West!"

4. "Pastors on patrol" sounds a bit creepy.

Just sayin’. Are these youth pastors?

9. I think you're thinking the same as me.

[orangecrush]

13. Of course

[DFW]

5. Yes, because the schoolchildren demand constant protection against infidels who might take them down

Welcome to Saudi Arkansia, where the religious police will give you twenty lashes in the public square with a bull whip if you dare go against the will of their deity, and only they know for sure what that will is.

6. Brain washing the children.

[Ocelot II]

7. "Pastors on the prowl" is more like it.

Creepy youth pastors hanging around schools- but at least they aren’t drag queens.

8. These ultra religious zealots are usually the worst psychopaths.

Especially the ones cramming religion down everyone's throat.

[yardwork]

10. It's a convenient and effective way to get access to children.

And the principal might be in on it.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Exactly. Principal and or the school boards is in on the crime.

[Conjuay]

14. Now they have accessto the kids they can't

stalk from their pulpits.

12. Pastors on Patrol: Child sex groomers. Identifying children of interest.

15. The students need protection from Pastors and other Christians

16. Forgot about this one

17. Nothing says going to church is worthless like prayer predators stalking children at school.
