This bill (S.F. No. 2280) proposes a new law in Minnesota requiring public elementary and secondary schools to display the Ten Commandments in each classroom. The law would mandate that a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments be placed in a conspicuous location in every classroom and meet specific size (at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall) and legibility requirements.

Schools without such a display must accept privately donated posters that meet these criteria. If a classroom has a display that does not conform to the requirements, it may be replaced using public funds or private donations. If a school has extra Ten Commandments posters, it must donate them to other public schools in need.

This bill raises potential concerns regarding the separation of church and state under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
