SF 2280 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Display of the Ten Commandments requirement in school classrooms

This bill requires all Minnesota public elementary and secondary schools to prominently display a 16x20 inch poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments in every classroom. The display must use the exact text specified in the bill (including the full biblical wording), be legible from anywhere in the room, and cannot include additional content. Schools without compliant displays may accept private donations meeting these requirements or use public funds to replace non-compliant versions. The policy directly affects every public K-12 school in Minnesota, mandating a specific religious text in all classrooms.
