"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

BS. One the freedoms I have (and have fought for) as an American is to hold, or not hold, any religious beliefs I want. "In God We Trust" may be our national motto (though only passed in 1956, at the height of the communist scare), but it does not obligate me or anyone else to consider Him to be a part of our "culture".
Also, to leave your country because you dissagree with some portion of the way it is run is the height of cowardice. This is America. If you don't like it, fix it. Love it or leave it is a crock of shit.
