Lawmakers have taken a step to put God in schools in Kentucky.

The state House of Representatives have passed a bill that will have “In God We Trust” displayed in schools next school year, The Associated Press reported.

House Bill 46, approved Wednesday, will make all public schools put the national motto, in a prominent location.

If schools do not comply, there are no specific penalties outlined, according to the AP.

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Brandon Reed, said it reflects what being an American means.

However, Democratic Rep. Kelly Flood said she voted against it because lawmakers should strive for tolerance and that being citizens is what counts, not putting Christianity above being part of the country, the AP reported.

How long until somebody writes in underneath, “...all others pay cash.”

I would like to ask Kelly Flood, how is this “putting Christianity above being part of the country”??

How is “In God We Trust” an expression of Christianity only?

She’s full of it on her reasoning.

Also, how is it “above being part of the country”?? Displaying the national motto makes you somehow not part of the country which has this statement as the motto??

What is not tolerant about “In God We Trust”? These people parrot back talking points, without knowing what the heck they are talking about.

I expect the liberals to file suit against this law. So it could well be tied up in court anyway.

Bet it if said “Allah Akbar”, they would have been ok with it.

Idiot, in God we trust is not an exclusively Christian declaration.
