Throwing Moses under the Bus: A High School English Teacher Looks at the Ten Commandments

Just thinking about terms like morals law and commandments seems dull maybe even mean-spirited. Still a quick look at social media the endless news cycle and magazines in the grocery checkout line show that we love to hear about failure recovery and who has crossed the latest moral boundary. At the same time the argument over whose boundaries matter or whether they matter doesnt ever end. In fact all these stories and concerns start somewhere in high school and keep going. Who can tell me what to do? Why do I have to do things this way? I cant wait to be free from all these rules. In Throwing Moses Under the Bus teacher/author John Cabascango examines the ancient rules and stories that show us why these stone-tablet rules still matter in a digital age. Using examples from twenty-one years of teaching novels movies and the American high school hallway you are invited to see why boundaries matter to people who want to live freely.
