Oklahoma HB1006 requires every public school to display a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments in a conspicuous place in each classroom starting from the 2025-2026 school year. The display must meet specific requirements, including legible text and size. If a school has extra displays, it must offer them to another public school.
