How will Louisiana's Ten Commandments classroom requirement be funded and enforced?

It's unclear whether the new law that requires a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in Louisiana classrooms has any teeth to enforce the requirement and penalize those who refuse to comply.A copy of the Ten Commandments is seen along with other historical documents in a hallway of the Georgia Capitol on June 20 in Atlanta.

Louisiana Family Forum, a Christian conservative organization, has already created a page on its website for donations that"will be used specifically for the purpose of producing and distributing '10 Commandments' displays to educational institutions around Louisiana."But the question of what happens if a school doesn't receive enough donations has lingered for months with little clarity.

Lawmakers supporting the bill were adamant during debate that the law is clear in saying donations would be used to obtain the posters. Others suggest the law's language may still allow for the purchase of displays through public funds. "I don't believe in doing something that is unconstitutional and harmful to students," said Dier, who teaches at a New Orleans high school.
