Alabama voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2018 on Ten Commandments displays in public schools and state-owned buildings.
Former state Sen. Gerald Dial, R-Lineville, sponsored a constitutional amendment on Ten Commandments displays that voters approved in 2018. .Louisiana has passed a law requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments, a new development in a longtime public policy controversy that has surfaced in Alabama repeatedly over more than two decades.
“The Ten Commandments shall be displayed in a manner that complies with constitutional requirements, including, but not limited to, being intermingled with historical or educational items, or both, in a larger display within or on property owned or administrated by a public school or public body.” “We tried to go down that road to a degree,” Dial said. “But then we were warned by all the legal scholars that it would be unconstitutional and it would just cost the state a lot of money to go all the way to the Supreme Court. And what I was doing was the most practical and easiest way and it would leave it up to the school boards and city managers and governmental officials to decide whether they wanted to put it up or not.
