Bill > SF2280

This bill requires all public elementary and secondary schools in Minnesota to display a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments in every classroom, with specific requirements for the poster's size, legibility, and text. The poster must be at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall, with text large enough to be read from anywhere in the classroom, and must include the verbatim text of the Ten Commandments as specified in the bill. If a school does not already have such a poster, it must accept privately donated posters that meet the requirements. Schools can use public funds or private donations to purchase and replace posters that do not meet the specified criteria. Additionally, the bill mandates that schools with extra Ten Commandments posters offer them to other public schools. This legislation appears to be aimed at promoting religious text in public school classrooms, which could potentially raise constitutional questions about the separation of church and state.
