Oppose

This bill would require schools across the state of Indiana to hang the Ten Commandments in every library and classroom.

We oppose this bill because, as courts across the country have repeatedly affirmed, posting explicitly religious documents such as the Ten Commandments is a blatant violation of the First Amendment right to worship as we choose, or not at all – free from government-imposed religion.
