Public schools in West Virginia may soon be required to display the phrase “In God We Trust” in every building if a bill passed by the state Senate becomes law.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Public schools in West Virginia may soon be required to display the phrase “In God We Trust” in every building if a bill passed by the state Senate on Monday becomes law.

“We know there’s a lot of kids that have problems at home, tough times at home that we don’t know anything about,” Azinger said, speaking on the Senate floor. “Maybe they’ll look up one day and say, ‘In God We Trust’ and know they can put their hope in God.” The displays must also contain images of the U.S. national and state flags but can't depict any other words, images or information. They must be either be donated or purchased from private donations.

Good the protection of GOD is needed

Yahoo and democrats who worshipped satan are not happy!

Well, they let dudes in dresses who pretend to be women teach for some reason so while im not christian, im less offended by words than groomers.

Seems an awesome opportunity for the non-Christian children in these schools to learn the fine art of vandalism

Seems contrary to the First Amendment

West Virginia advances mandate to display ‘In God We Trust’ in schoolsRepublican Sen. Mike Azinger, who introduced the bill, says he wants to give students something to look up to and that it’s okay to “say God” in school. The bill requires that the phrase appears in an area in each school building. This is religious discrimination pure and simple. It is not 'allowing students to feel safe' it is forcing one religion onto everyone and literally writing on the wall that other religions are lesser and unwanted. Is Rep. Mike Azinger on Twitter? How can he be contacted? I'd like to as him'Which God'? Freedom of Religion also means Freedom From Religion. WVGovernor tell Azinger. This is the best idea I've heard in a long time. I remember when I was a young student attending public school in America, we were afraid to mention God in school. We were supposed to totally ignore Him and pretend He does not exist.
