Mandates that K-12 classroom displays include a historical context statement describing the Ten Commandments' role in early American education, referencing The New England Primer, McGuffey Readers, and Noah Webster's textbooks.

Prohibits requiring school boards or higher education institutions to spend public funds on the displays; institutions must accept donated funds or donated displays to fulfill the requirement.
