A bill requiring the Ten Commandments be displayed in all public South Dakota classrooms passed the Senate with a 18-17 vote. Senate Bill 51 would require every classroom in the state to display the Ten Commandments on a poster no smaller than eight by 14 inches.

First-term Republican Sen. John Carley of Piedmont brought Senate Bill 51, which is similar to legislation that’s popped up in North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana.

A committee of South Dakota lawmakers voted 4-3 to endorse a bill Thursday in Pierre that would require public school districts to teach the Ten Commandments and display them in every classroom. The vote came after an hour of testimony that included opposition from public school groups. The legislation now heads to the full state Senate.
