10 commandments in Texas public schools

By Texas law, if posters of the 10 Commandments are donated to our school district, I am required to have them posted in a visible space on my wall. Meaning, I can’t hide them under the counter or put them in a drawer somewhere. And by law, my Principal has to be the one to post them in the rooms.

I’m looking for ideas or workarounds. Can I cover it up? Can I post things over it or around it to obstruct it? Should I post other religious texts and rules? Granted, I’m only a kindergarten teacher in Texas, but I still think this law is wildly inappropriate and unconstitutional. And even though I only teach five and six year old students, some of them can already read at high reading levels, and some of them celebrate or practice a different religion.

I want ideas, links, sources stating what I can and cannot do in accordance with the law.
