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.

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

"In God We Trust" started in 1864. Here's an interesting history page on it: www.treasury.gov

It goes back a lot farther than that. 1862 or thereabouts.
It was first put on paper currency in the 1950's though. For a different angle, Teddy Roosevelt had the motto removed for a brief period in the 00's. Felt that it was blasphemous to have such a motto on money itself, as such money could be used for sinful activities, e.g. prostitution.

That comment is consistent with your other bigoted, hateful, anti-Christian posts on FR. It’s unfortunate that you are allowed a voice on a conservative forum. As an anti-Christian, you might wish to consider joining your friends at DU.

PC = "prevention of communism"

and speaking of PC, the PC version of the national motto would be:

ex unus , plures

and the national symbol, a prism ("all the diversity of the rainbow")

Cheers!

What does a motto on currency have to do with your tagline? ( That's a rhetorical question. It has absolutely nothing to do with it. )

So, be honest for once. Do you agree with the actions taken by the school? A simple yes or no will do.

we could use a lot less Pluribus and a lot more Unum
