'In God We Trust': Texas Law Requiring Public Schools Display National Motto Draws Backlash

Posters featuring the national motto are going up in public schools and colleges across Texas, and that's drawing backlash from several groups who argue the phrase is used to promote Christian nationalism. 

A new Texas state law requires all public elementary, secondary schools, and institutions of higher education to post in their facilities "In God We Trust" posters if they are donated or purchased by private donations. 

The Texas Tribune reports Senate Bill 797 passed during last year's legislative session. The law went into effect last year.
