'In God We Trust' goes missing
School plays it safe with yearbook cover photo
08:37 AM CDT on Saturday, May 20, 2006 WFAA-TV
The freedom of religion at Liberty Elementary School has gone too far for some parents at the Colleyville school.
The cover of the Keller ISD school's annual depicts the 2005 Liberty Nickel – complete with the face of Thomas Jefferson – but the words "In God We Trust" are missing.
Instead, the $16 yearbook contains a sticker with the credo and directions on how to apply it to the cover if the owner chooses.

THIS is an ELEMENTARY school.....obviously the loony adults are in charge! And, I suggest they forgo the use of our MONEY, and the taxpayers forgo the use of THEIR money to support this school!

If our money disgusts these bozos so much, perhaps they shouldn't have any of it.

"In this case, I think it was the principal making every effort to make sure that all faiths were respected," Jason Meyer said.What a looney! It's our NATIONAL CURRENCY with our NATIONAL MOTTO on it. What's wrong with these idiots?

Whenever I start thinking there might be a limit to the Left's self-hatred, something like this comes along.

. . . making every effort to make sure that all faiths were respected . . . These knuckleheads "respect" the faith of the vast majority of their constituents by pretending it doesn't even exist. The best reason, as I see it, for fighting to get back our money from the public schools so our children can be educated as we prefer.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!
Why didn't they leave the motto on and give the few people who would be offended a blank decal to cover it, rather than accomodating the few to the detriment of the vast majority?

E Pluribus Unum. "In God We Trust" is 1950's PC pap.

"In this case, I think it was the principal making every effort to make sure that all faiths were respected," Jason Meyer said."In this case, I think it was the principal making every effort to make sure that all faiths except Christianity were respected," Jason Meyer said.
There, I fixed it.

Oops. You're right: In God We Trust was to distinguish us from the godless commies.

"In God We Trust" is on the coin. It ought not to be treated a matter of opinion by the principal. Because she does, she is obviously a fool who if she errs in small matters will err in larger ones.

I'm surprised they didn't change it to "In Government We Trust".

Uh, "In God We Trust" has appeared on U.S. coins since 1938.

The more the left does things like this, the more untenable their position is shown to be. This continued display of their extremism in the long run strengthens our position.
