Something to bash on

Can't morality be defined or at least interpreted threw our laws?

That gets murky when laws start showing up because people have voted in utter nonsense.

In college, I took a couple of interpersonal communication classes and I'll tell you that they didn't teach me a thing about what was "right" and what was "wrong", however the information gleamed from these classes made people [think] about the actions they were taking. It is the process of thinking about the consequences of ones actions before committing to them that harvested concepts such as right and wrong IMO, and I believe this tool can be used to help our little ones deal with moral situations better than children who have never had such instruction.

Aha! Now, that's a much clearer idea than advocating teaching "right from wrong." I am all for teaching communication in schools. Communication is the backbone of relationships with other people (and with oneself). It'd be wonderful to teach children communication concepts very early on.

Without any types of positive enforced moral stipulations in public view - there are plenty of negative ones, such as vandalism - it seems almost counterintuitive to society to complexly remove all the good ones, but this is just my opinion.

And speaking of communication... I'm not sure what you're saying when you say "positive enforced moral stipulations" and "complexly remove." But it sounds like you're saying that removing the Ten Commandments from certain public government buildings is to remove all "positive enforced moral stipulations," which implies it's the only one remaining.

But from my point of view, I'm not sure why it's so terribly important to advertise religion on government property when there are so many private venues where such things can be advertised. I mean, courthouses? Most people who go there are in trouble in the first place. It's too late for them. Start with the places they visit every day. Think grocery stores, fast food joints, Toys'R'Us, corporate office buildings, gas stations, and used car lots for Ten Commandments monuments. Well, maybe not gas stations. People don't want to be reminded of Jesus when they're picking up the latest issue of "Jugs."
