Gov. Ivey signs bill, requires Ten Commandments display in schools

Alabama public schools will soon be required to display the Ten Commandments in certain classrooms under a new law signed by Gov. Kay Ivey earlier this month, expected to take effect Oct. 1. Senate Bill 99 (SB99), passed by Alabama legislature and signed into law on April 13, requires that the Ten Commandments be displayed in a state‑approved poster or framed document throughout public school classrooms. The displays must be shown in fifth through 12th grade classrooms where U.S. history is taught, as well as in common areas like cafeterias and school libraries.
