St. Louis, MO, August 5, 2026 —
A new law enacted in Alabama will require public schools serving students in grades five through twelve to display the Ten Commandments in history classrooms and common areas. The legislation, set to take effect on October 1, mandates that these displays be in place by January 1, 2027.
The Ten Commandments will be displayed alongside other significant historical documents. The law specifies that these may include items such as the Mayflower Compact and excerpts from the U.S. Constitution.
Under the new statute, Alabama public schools are not required to allocate their own funds for the creation or installation of these displays. Instead, the law indicates that schools will rely on donations to cover the costs associated with the mandated exhibits.
