Ten Commandments; require display in every public school and charter school classroom.

HB 764 would require all Mississippi public school and charter school boards to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom by January 1, 2026, using a poster or framed document at least 11x14 inches with the text in a large, readable font. The display must include a context statement explaining the historical role of the Ten Commandments in American education, referencing their use in early textbooks like the New England Primer and McGuffey Readers. School boards may also choose to display additional historical documents, and the state education department must identify and list free resources for compliance on its website. The bill states it does not create an unfunded mandate, as it encourages the use of free materials for implementation.
