Texas HB2696 requires public elementary and secondary schools to display the Ten Commandments in each classroom.

Texas HB2696 amends the Education Code to mandate that public elementary and secondary schools display a poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments in every classroom. The display must be in a conspicuous place, with the text legible to a person with average vision from anywhere in the classroom. The poster or framed copy must be at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall, and include only the text of the Ten Commandments. Schools can accept privately donated posters or framed copies that meet these requirements, or purchase them using district funds.
