A new state law means Kentucky schools must prominently display the national motto.
(Frankfort, Ky.) - Schools throughout Kentucky are stocking up on new “In God We Trust” signage to comply with a new state law.
Students heading back to class will be greeted by the national motto displayed prominently in public schools statewide. A new law requiring the phrase to be prominently displayed in every school was passed by lawmakers in February and signed by Governor Matt Bevin in March.
The motto can be on a permanent plaque, temporary sign, artwork, or other medium.
The law does not carry penalties for schools which don’t comply.
The American Civil Liberties Union has opposed the bill before it was even passed, arguing it violates the First Amendment's Establishment Clause.
The motto has appeared on U.S. currency since 1864.
