'Dieu et Mon Droit' (G-d and My Right) is the British motto, but we don't need it plastered everywhere.

I see signs like this, usually in some seedy roadside dive.

I suppose they could put signs like this in the school cafeterias.

Sorry, it is the U.S. national motto. (Passed by Congress) Scots are on your own. :)
I await the day when Muslim majority communities in SE Michiganistan
take this newly found legal right to make their religion official in schools.
Perhaps Xians didn't forsee that a school motto would be....
"To Allah we submit"
Imagine some Xian parent's discovering that their kids must recite this.
I'd like to be a fly on that wall.

Stand by for unintended consequences...

I live in Tennessee and agree with this act. Tennessee is in the Bible belt, and it's big cities are inspired by country music, most performers being raised Christian. The government acts for the majority of the peoples in this state, which are what governments do. Just as we disagree with a lot of silly California laws, they have the right to disagree with us. But our people overwhelmingly wanted this and the government responded in kind.

If others don't like it, there are 49 other states to raise their kids in, IMO.

Of course, TN doesn't get to enact any old law it wants.
The USSC just might weigh in on this.

Too bad for you and the other Christian theocrats in the Bible belt, the Constitution is the law of the entire US and you don't get to have an exception for your state. We have protections from the tyranny of the majority. This won't last long. There's lots of other countries with no such protections or separations between religion and state. Feel free to move and stop trying to make the US into a Christian theocracy.
