Why don't secular schools teach about the Ten Commandments found written in stone in New Mexico?

Written in ancient paleo Hebrew script, guarded by the people here who said they were written by "the ancient people", there are petroglyphs on the NE side depicting the constellations during the solar eclipse of September 15th 107 BC

Update:

As a scientific matter, why wouldn't any ancient writings be presented? Many other 'religious type' ancient petroglyphs are presented for study.

Update 2:

IF it were an hoax, why discourage independent study/verification?

    Why should schools waste time telling students about every ridiculous hoax out there? Good schools teach about a few of them just to tell kids what to look for in spotting a hoax, but in general there's no reason to teach about something that has so little relevance to the curriculum.
