Tennessee to Allow Ten Commandments in Public and Charter Schools
Tennessee Senator Mark Pody and State Representative Michael Hale have leveraged our landmark win in Kennedy v Bremerton to pass a law that allows for the Ten Commandments and excerpts from historical documents to be displayed in common areas in all Tennessee public and charter schools.
The law goes into effect on July 1, 2026 and we are working to ensure legally compliant posters are made available to individuals and organizations that wish to donate the posters.
If you would like to be involved in getting these in Tennessee schools, please join us! We’ll make sure you receive updates on the project and communications on how to take action.

Questions and Answers
Why is this significant?
For over 50 years there were concerted efforts to take God out of the public square. This has resulted in lawsuits all over the country taking down displays and monuments from public spaces. Now, we’re able to turn the tide back to what our Founders intended. In a 2022 Supreme Court decision, Kennedy v. Bremerton, did away with the faulty “Lemon Test” that was being used to harm religious liberty across the country. The court ruled that the history and traditions of our country is what is important, not an arbitrary and subjective test.
This was a HUGE win for religious liberty and public expressions of faith and bolsters laws like in Georgia. Now, we can help bring God back to the public square to help heal our nation. Our children and citizens can be educated on the truth about our Christian heritage.
What is the goal of the initiative?
In 2025, we want to complete the installation of the 9 documents that are part of the Foundations of American Law and Government display in at least one location in all 159 counties across Georgia. We then want to place them in public school buildings in Georgia as the law allows.
What are we asking you to do?
We want you to become the “boots on the ground” in order to make this a success and create a blueprint that we can use in other states across the nation.
You’ll commit to working with local officials for support in putting the displays up and then continuing to educate the community using the Biblical citizenship and Constitution Alive courses as to the importance of what they mean. The time commitment will vary based on who the decision makers are in each county and who you might know that has influence. We can help provide the resources you need to be successful.
What counties have already been completed?
The map on the right shows in blue all the counties that have a display already in at least one location (county courthouse or city hall). It also shows in orange the counties that are actively being worked on. Any county in grey is up for grabs and needs someone assigned to it.
Have any displays been put up?
Yes! We’ve been hard at work helping people put up displays. Check out the pictures below or click here for a special dedication ceremony showing the displays.
