In the News: Law would put 'In God We Trust' in schools |
From the article:

Thursday, April 07, 2005
By Bill Toland, Post-Gazette Harrisburg Bureau
HARRISBURG -- The national statement of faith, "In God We Trust," has been
appearing on coins since 1864, and has been the country's motto since 1956. But
should it be appearing in each of Pennsylvania's tens of thousands of public
classrooms?
A proposed law, now awaiting action in the state House, would require the motto
to appear in every public school classroom, auditorium and cafeteria in
Pennsylvania.
If it gains steam, the "National Motto Display Act," as it's being called, is
likely to begin a battle pitting familiar foes -- proponents say it's an
historical motto that harmlessly brings a little bit of God into schools, while
opponents say it's a possible breach of the church-state wall.

Hello, theocracy with a fundamentalist US Supreme

at the hip like clergy and altar boys.
