2025 House Bill 65: AN ACT relating to the display of the Ten Commandments in schools

This bill would require the permanent display of a copy of the Ten Commandments in every public elementary and secondary school classroom. The bottom of each copy will read "The secular application of the Ten Commandments is clearly seen in its adoption as the fundamental legal code of Western Civilization and the Common Law of the United States."

KSVT strongly opposes this bill because it clearly violates the Establishment Clause of our Constitution. This could cause many students to feel ostracized and is a thinly veiled attempt to promote Christianity in schools. This bill works against the Kentucky Student Voice Team’s mission of creating more just and democratic schools.
