You wonder why we're having shootings and killings here in 2017? Because we've asked for it. We've taken prayer out of school.
I feel that I'm sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Alabama, and those constitutions are founded upon a fundamental belief in God ... my display of the Ten Commandments and prayer before sessions are simply acknowledgments of God.
I consider it my duty to acknowledge God. To take down the Ten Commandments and to stop holding prayer would be a violation of that duty. I will not take down the Ten Commandments and I will not stop holding prayer.
All the Ten Commandments and prayer is an acknowledgement of the Almighty God. We will not back down from that.
