BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- Passionate speakers on both sides of the argument stated their case to the Kern County Board of Education on why the Ten Commandments should or should not be posted in classrooms.

Two presentations were made by ACLU lawyer Peter Eliasberg and Classics professor Nancy Meyer. Eliasberg highlighted the financial loss the board could take by adopting this and Meyer focused on the ethics of putting it up in the classroom. Pastor Angelo Frazier of Riverlakes Church, who has been spearheading this movement in Kern County, says the commandments are historical documents.
