Framed copies of the Ten Commandments will become fixtures in every public school classroom in Montana should a bill proposed by a Republican senator from Lindsay become law.

A Lindsay Republican's bill that sought to require the Ten Commandments be posted in every public school classroom in Montana was shot down Saturday in a 24-26 Senate vote.

Critics say the Ten Commandments bill could expose kindergarteners to terms like "adultery" and "murder," making for tough conversations. A local senator says there'll be ways to navigate it.
