Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently signed Senate Bill 433 into law, requiring all public school classrooms in the state to display posters of the U.S. national motto “In God We Trust” and The Ten Commandments. The bill, passed by Republican-controlled chambers, aims to educate students on the religious and moral beliefs of the Founding Fathers. Sanders also signed House Bill 1705, emphasizing the influence of the Ten Commandments on American law and public policy. Legal experts like Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel praise the legislation for preserving the nation’s foundational principles and inalienable rights.
The debate over displaying the Ten Commandments in schools gained national attention when a 42-year-old sculpture in Grand Junction, Colorado, sparked a legal battle between the ACLU and the Christian Coalition’s American Center for Law and Justice. Phil McGraw, former talk show host, voiced support for the displays as a counterbalance to modern societal influences.
Arkansas follows Louisiana’s lead in passing such legislation, despite a federal judge’s ruling blocking the law in response to a lawsuit by several advocacy groups. The decision was later limited to specific school districts where parents challenged the measure. While the debate over the presence of the Ten Commandments in public schools continues, supporters argue that understanding the document’s historical significance is crucial for preserving the nation’s founding principles.
