Louisiana public schools now required to display 'In God We Trust' in all classrooms
All Louisiana public schools are now required to display the national motto of “In God We Trust” inside of classrooms, under a new law that went into effect on August 1.
The bill’s author, state Rep. Dodie Horton, said to CNN affiliate WVUE, “It doesn’t preach any particular religion at all, but it certainly does recognize a higher power.”
You're viewing part of a thread.
As far as I know, Supreme Court ruled that it does not establish religion. I'd say the same if most of the country was Hindu and it referenced their deity. It's a fucking motto and most motto's are outdated and show some cultural reference to the people long gone.
Yes, I know what they ruled. Do you think every Supreme Court ruling is correct? Dred Scott v. Sandford was the proper decision?
I mean, you said that most of the country is still christian? So, in a democratic society which is mostly christian there is a motto that references times when even more of the country was christian and the soul of the country was mostly christian?
Yeah, a huge problem.
Again- First Amendment. No establishment of religion. How is this so hard for you?
But it does not establish a any religion as a country's official religion. It's a remnant of past times.
The Constitution doesn't say anything about establishing religion as the country's official religion.
There's a reason teachers aren't allowed to lead school prayers from any religion and it has nothing to do with what the official religion of the nation is or is not.
