Status: Passed the House Education Committee and moving toward a full House vote in the 2026 session. 

Summary: House Bill 1086 would require every public school corporation in Indiana to place a durable poster or framed picture representing the text of the Ten Commandments in each school library and classroom. 

Why We Support It: The American Collective supports HB 1086 because it affirms the historical and moral principles that have shaped Indiana and our nation’s founding culture. This bill enables local communities and school leaders to preserve and acknowledge important values such as honesty, respect, and personal responsibility values reflected in the Ten Commandments within educational environments. 

By encouraging the display of these foundational texts, HB 1086 promotes transparency about America’s heritage and reinforces respect for the traditions that undergird our civic life.

Action Alert: Contact your state representative to express support for HB 1086 and advocate for its passage through the House.
