Louisiana public schools will display 'In God We Trust' beginning this school year.
Public school students in Louisiana will see the motto “In God We Trust” when they return to class this year.
The law, first introduced in March 2018 as Senate Bill 224 by Democratic State Senator Regina Ashford Barrow, said that the way the motto was displayed would be “determined by each governing authority” but needed to be at least a paper sign. “This is our national motto. It’s also on our currency. So I think it’s really important that we ensure that young people understand the patriotic history of our country and how it was founded and its purpose,” Barrow said while discussing the bill in the Louisiana Senate chamber in April of 2018.
Louisiana is not the only state where public schools will be required to display the motto this year.
