”In God We Trust” Must Be Exhibited in All Public Schools, Per Red State Law In an attempt to return classrooms from woke ideology and fringe ideas to a more God-centered environment, another state has approved legislation.
To the dismay of some parents, instructors have been using classroom decorations, posters, and other means to impose their own narratives on their kids more liberally in recent years.
The state of Louisiana now mandates that “In God We Trust” be put up in each and every public school.
This week, just in time for the approaching Bayou State school year, the bill, HB 8, entered into force.
For public classrooms, it’s a positive step in the right direction.Every public school classroom “must display the national motto in each building it uses and classroom in each school under its jurisdiction,” under the recently passed legislation.
The state has also established strict regulations on the placement, composition, and size of the motto display.
Without a doubt, if there were no requirements regarding size, a lot of educators or educational institutions that felt no obligation to abide by the law would just cover over the national motto.
The national motto must be shown on a poster or framed document that is at least eleven inches by fourteen inches, according to the legislation, which specifies the requirements: “The nature of the display shall be determined by each governing authority.” The motto, which should be put in a bold, legible font, should serve as the focal point of the poster or framed document.
The regulation was also drafted to prevent schools from using monies that were designated for their budget in an attempt to allay the inevitable criticism that they were being used for anything religious.
Rather, religious groups, individuals, or other like-minded organizations can give money for the signage, or even the signs themselves.
Governor John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, surprisingly signed the bill into law in June. The governor, a Democrat, acknowledged the increasing conservative movement across the country and the determination of the people to restore the name of God in the national motto to civic life.
Louisiana is one more state that is committed to bringing our national motto back into the public eye—at least when it comes to public buildings.
Similar legislation have recently been approved in Florida, Arkansas, South Dakota, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Texas.
Even though it may seem like a little, harmless gesture, many people have complained throughout the years about anything having to do with God being displayed in public areas.
For years, anti-religious campaigners have maintained that the official US usage of the slogan violates the rights of individuals who have different religious views.
However, it shouldn’t be a contentious choice to display the national motto in public given that the great majority of Americans identify as religious, and the country was founded on the principle of religious freedom.
We have an obvious choice when we combine it with the fact that “In God We Trust” is printed on every piece of paper money—which, strangely, anti-religious groups have no problem seizing and spending.
Put the national motto back in all places where people congregate and start moving our nation toward normalcy.
