Social studies teacher here. Aside from the obvious church/state problems with this, there might be an easy way around it for teachers: put up a poster with a dollar bill on it. Less conspicuous, still follows the letter of the shitty law.
Could they not also put up multiple banners stating “in [yet another diety] we trust” and continue with “in [notable scholar] we trust” etc… Dilute the message intended by the law?
I like it. Surround it with “In bigfoot we trust”, “in the tooth fairy we trust”
‘In God we trust’, followed by ‘In God we trust’ in Arabic. 😆
Oh please hang it up and make it say “in Allah we trust”. Anti discrimination and shit.
some people say
in god we trust
with knowledge, trust is not necessary: you know
Give kids extra credit formless defacing it. “In God We
trustThrust” and then send the bill for constant replacing of said signage to the state.Just hang it up in Arabic.
I hated social studies in school but the teachers were always the coolest ones. Nice to see the tradition is being carried on.
I like your thinking
I’ve been teaching for almost 20 years at this point. Malicious compliance has a better chance of working than arguing with people who either don’t have the power or the will to change anything or stand up for what is right.
This is the truth of it. You can kill yourself trying to directly fight a system, when a simple dollar bill would suffice in this case.
Pretty sure the law specifies minimum size of the poster and states that the motto must be the focus of the poster…
I think multiple signs from many deities might be nice. Especially the flying spaghetti monster.
