Frankfort, KY — Schools across Kentucky are working to fulfill a new state law requiring the national motto “In God We Trust” be displayed in a prominent place before classes begin. Some school districts have put up plaques while some plan to use artwork in common areas. Others are still working out details. Lead sponsor Republican Rep. Brandon Reed has said the motto is ever-present in society and is prominently displayed in the Kentucky legislature. The American Civil Liberties Union opposed the bill, saying the motto “has the appearance of endorsing religion.” ACLU Communications Director Amber Duke said last week that parents or students who feel their rights have been violated should contact the organization.
