"In God We Trust" Required on School Walls in Indiana?
The phrase "In God We Trust" soon could be emblazoned on the wall of every Indiana school classroom under legislation being considered at the Statehouse by the Senate Education Committee.
Senate Bill 131 would mandate all public and charter schools display a "durable poster or framed picture" in each classroom and library with the words "In God We Trust" printed at least 4 inches tall and 15 inches wide, along with similar-sized representations of the United States and Indiana flags.
Under the plan, schools would be responsible for the cost of printing, framing and installing the phrase and image in every classroom by July 1, unless the posters themselves are donated or schools are provided donated funds to cover the expense.

And, of course, this is coming from the party of less government.

demanding to know which of the dozens of popular gods they should teach their children to trust........modern evangelical, traditional Baptist, the god of Christianity of the 1950s, the Muslim god, the god of the Jews, gods of the Greeks, the god of manna and the prosperity gospel ($$$), etc.
Perhaps they will provide parents with a checklist of the thousands of historical versions to chose from so they can provide each child with a label to wear to school.......
I hope the ACLU gets on this like stink on shit........
