Arkansas mandates motto and Ten Commandments displays
When voluntary funding is available, designated officials must display the national motto and Ten Commandments in Arkansas public institutions. This covers every public school and college classroom and library, plus taxpayer-funded public buildings and facilities. Displays must be durable posters or framed copies. The “In God We Trust” display must be at least 11 by 14 inches, easily readable, and centered on the motto. It must include the U.S. flag beneath the motto and the Arkansas state flag or flags. The Ten Commandments display must use the law’s exact text, measure at least 16 by 20 inches, and be readable from anywhere in the room by someone with average vision. Initial displays must be donated or bought solely with voluntary contributions. Institutions may replace displays that fail these rules using public money or private donations. They must donate unneeded displays to another covered institution.
