Alarm over Texas law forcing schools to display ‘In God We Trust’ signs

Civil rights advocates say it imposes religion' as new law requires public campuses to display any donated items bearing that phrase

Civil rights advocates are ringing alarm bells about officials distributing In God We Trust" posters in Texas schools after a state law took effect requiring public campuses to display any donated items bearing that phrase.

These posters demonstrate the more casual ways a state can impose religion on the public," Sophie Ellman-Golan of Jews For Racial & Economic Justice (JFREJ) told the Guardian. Alone, they're a basic violation of the separation of church and state. But in the broader context, it's hard not to see them as part of the larger Christian nationalist project."
