Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Social studies teacher here. Aside from the obvious church/state problems with this, there might be an easy way around it for teachers: put up a poster with a dollar bill on it. Less conspicuous, still follows the letter of the shitty law.
Could they not also put up multiple banners stating "in [yet another diety] we trust" and continue with "in [notable scholar] we trust" etc... Dilute the message intended by the law?
I like it. Surround it with "In bigfoot we trust", "in the tooth fairy we trust"
'In God we trust', followed by 'In God we trust' in Arabic. 😆
Oh please hang it up and make it say "in Allah we trust". Anti discrimination and shit.
Give kids extra credit formless defacing it. “In God We ~~trust~~ Thrust” and then send the bill for constant replacing of said signage to the state.
some people say
in god we trust
with knowledge, trust is not necessary: you know
Just hang it up in Arabic.
I hated social studies in school but the teachers were always the coolest ones. Nice to see the tradition is being carried on.
I like your thinking
I've been teaching for almost 20 years at this point. Malicious compliance has a better chance of working than arguing with people who either don't have the power or the will to change anything or stand up for what is right.
This is the truth of it. You can kill yourself trying to directly fight a system, when a simple dollar bill would suffice in this case.
Pretty sure the law specifies minimum size of the poster and states that the motto must be the focus of the poster...
I think multiple signs from many deities might be nice. Especially the flying spaghetti monster.
