West Virginia House of Delegates today read a bill, requiring our national motto, “in God We Trust” in public schools. Bill passed 31–1 with two absent and I will make bold predictions that it will pass the House if it comes for the last vote!
I mean voting for God, especially in a deep religious state like West Virginia, is usually a safe bet. It ranks the same with the resolutions supporting maternity and apple pie, which is likely to be introduced in the next session.
Before I receive any depth in it, I should say that I believe in God and pray regularly, although lack of church presence shows that I have some work to do some work on that front. But I think a little history is worth noting this issue.
The founder wanted a national seal and motto. In the early indication of the infiltration of the federal government, our politicians took six years to agree on the design of great seal with “e Pluribus Anam” on one side, “Many, one.”
It stood as long as our informal motto, and it was a good. What Smithsonian Library and Archives say about this here:
“When it was decided to fight for our freedom, the colonists decided that if all the colonies fought together, they would be more powerful. One of the 13 colonies came. One of our 50 states comes. The motto describes our history and our belief that we are a nation that should work together as one! ,
But during the Civil War, the leaders of the Sangh rav. Mr. Watkinson followed the recommendation that he says the “in God V Trust” on money (one-percent and two-percent coins initially) as a reminder that God was on the north side. I suspect that Confederates also thought that God was on his side, but it did not work for them either.
It was not till 1956 during the Cold War when the phrase became the official motto of the country. The Congress approved the United Sankalp as a statement of the country’s faith against the communist -non -communities.
Since then, at least 21 states have passed laws or either “we believe in God” needs to be displayed in public buildings, often in schools. And, yes, those displays are allowed, despite ACLU’s best efforts. The US Supreme Court has ruled that the phrase does not violate the first amendment to the Claus. Justice Sandra Dey O’Coner called the motto “Ceremonial Dism”, which is to be more patriotic than Christianity.
If the bill passes, I suspect that it will differentiate a lot or in another way. As they say, there are no atheists in a foxhole, so I suspect whether the agnostic tenth graduate in Ms. Johnson’s class is asking for divine intervention because they always do before the big test whether they read the motto or not.
If we really wanted the motto to have an influence, then it should read, “In God we trust, but do our homework.” But this will be clearly a religious message and ACLU will finally have a good case.
Just for records, the United States does not have a market for relying on divine. For example, “in God V Trust” is also the national motto of Nicaragua. just sayin’…
I am partial out of many, one As our national motto. It comes from the founders of our country, and it simply says, but deeply, the idea of unequal areas and people came up with shared principles of democracy as a United States coming together which changed the history of the world.
This is a specific American story that West Virginia school children will learn … God ready.
