    They passed a law in Kentucky that all schools had to display ‘In God We Trust’ on their walls, so a school decided to do some malicious compliance and framed a dollar bill.

    Maybe the Utah schools can post them in the original Hebrew.

      In Utah all new license plates must bear the phrase “In God we Trust.” Even though the truth is, in “God” I do not trust, and I never did trust in any supernatural being to regulate the events of my life. The Hebrew idea is great, but they won’t do it because it’s not OK to not be a christian mormon in utah. There are Jewish people here, of course, but they aren’t recognized or allowed to talk in school about it.

        Utah is probably the most beautiful state I’ve ever driven through. I didn’t want to stop much due to all the crazy.

          It IS a beautiful state, in the Salt lake valley (where I am) with high mountains all around, and in the southern part with the Red Rock canyons and Arches and Zion national park. Breathtaking, in fact. It’s just too bad the mormons stopped here and decided “this is the place.” Wish they’d gone a little farther north to Colorado instead.

        as hard as the mormons push their religion, this is just wrong. you also have the choice of arches one or the now generally available plain black one, on top of all the special interest ones

      Then they might realize there’s actually several hundred commandments, and they get real weird.
