Indiana lawmakers have advanced a bill allowing school districts to permit the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms and elsewhere. Lawmakers stopped short of requiring that the Ten Commandments be posted in all public school classrooms and libraries, as the original bill proposed.

By permitting school districts to display the Ten Commandments rather than mandating it from the state, it will shift the legal and financial burden from the state to school districts.

Violates the constitutional separation of Church and State & Violates religious freedom.

Wastes taxpayer dollars on lawsuits.

It will create division and isolate families of different beliefs.
