Sneaky Religious Bastards in Pennsylvania

Religious wacko fraction is disguising creeping religion into schools by sponsoring a -get this-National Motto Display Act. If passed this "Act" will allow schools to post all of our national mottoes to serve as inspiration to those tender, untilled minds-you know,to instill values and such. One of those "such" is our motto found on all coinage, IN GOD WE TRUST.

Religious, oh no. After all, it's just a motto.

I see this on license plates in Florida and feel like it's an advert for a theocracy every time I see it on money.

Since the courts have dubiously ruled that this invocation is fine and dandy, I wonder how we could realistically argue against its display in public schools.
