Ten Commandments and historical documents; require display in public schools and postsecondary educational institutions.

SB 2172 (Mississippi) would have required all public schools and postsecondary institutions receiving state funds to display the Ten Commandments, Mayflower Compact, and Declaration of Independence in conspicuous locations by January 2026, along with Mississippi-specific historical facts. The bill mandated a historical context statement for the Ten Commandments display and specified that schools could use donated materials or free resources to avoid costs. It cited Supreme Court rulings (Van Orden v. Perry, American Legion v. American Humanists Association) to justify the display requirements. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
