THE "IN GOD WE TRUST" SAGA CONTINUES

While some groups work to ban the motto "In God We Trust"
from U.S. coins and paper money, other groups are working
to expand its use.

"The national statement of faith, "In God We Trust," has been
appearing on coins since 1864, and has been the country's
motto since 1956. But should it be appearing in each of
Pennsylvania's tens of thousands of public classrooms?

A proposed law, now awaiting action in the state House,
would require the motto to appear in every public school
classroom, auditorium and cafeteria in Pennsylvania."

"The "In God We Trust" campaign new to Pennsylvania,
but not to other states. Legislatures in South Carolina,
Virginia, Mississippi, Ohio, Utah and Louisiana, among
others, have either approved the display of the motto in
public classrooms, or have at least discussed such measures."
