In God We Trust’ signs going up at public schools all over South Dakota

[We Never Know]

I believe this will stir the stink pot as well as keep the courts busy as christians and FFRF battle this one out.

SOUTH DAKOTA– For the new school year, South Dakota public schools will be required to display the national motto: “In God We Trust.”

A bill signed by Gov. Kristi Noem mandates that the words be on display for students to see beginning in the 2019-2020 school year.

The display can be on anything the principal feels is appropriate for their school, like a plaque or student artwork.
But there are requirements. The display must be at least 12 inches square and must be in a prominent location.

I want an Islamic person to sue for In Allah We Trust or a Native person to sue for In the Great Spirit We Trust or a scientist to sue for In Atoms We Trust or an atheist to sue for In Nothing We Trust, etc. The "Christians" are trying to be dictators. And they don't even know what Jesus said. I'm so sick of it. I'm so angry. Ok, love my enemies. I'll try but no guarantees.

Because not everyone believes in God and there is supposed to be a separation of church and state.

I hope somewhere in SD there is a kid willing to cover god up with either Satan or Hitler. Or any other equally amusing and offensive name or noun or verb.

Probably because the US Supreme Court has consistently struck down such things. Even in Indiana, where "In God We Trust" license plates were offered for free, that was a no because it endorsed religion by giving away a vanity plate for free instead of charging the usual amount.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Would Jesus really be ok with Christians breaking the laws of a world they are supposed to be not of? Because a lot of Christians have no problems with illegal behaviors as long as it promotes their religion.

Sounds wonderful to me.

It's the most common printed phrase in the USA and it's not from any religion,,

Somebody should let her know the Cold War with the Russians is over.

Well since the Eisenhower years anyways by making it a national motto.

Interestly, it was adopted in 1860 by an act of Congress prior.

Yes it is. I chose to say an Islamic should sue for In Allah We Trust because that is what God is called in Islam. In other religions God is called other names. Imagine being Hindu or Daoist. Does anyone care about anyone except the Christians? Other people matter because all people matter. Jesus even said so.

Exactly, and that is why atheists matter too.
I’m not an atheist but I can see wholeheartedly why they would see it as state sponsored indoctrination

Indoctrination into what?

"In Allah we trust" means In God we trust.

Into belief and trust in God, i’m scratching my head as to why that isn’t obvious

So the USA should have a law stopping the non-religious having access to cash, just incase they get indoctrinated

So, let's say it that way on all of the signs "In Allah We Trust". I have no problem with that.
