Students heading back to school in Tennessee in the coming weeks will see "In God We Trust" displayed in their schools, the Christian Headlines website reports today (August 6, 2018).
A bill requiring the national motto to be displayed in a prominent place was signed into law in April, meaning the 2018-19 school year is the first one to be impacted by the new rule.
The law defines "prominent place" as a "school entry way, cafeteria, or common area where students are likely to see the national motto."
The bill was sponsored by Republican Rep. Susan Lynn. It may be seen as a "slap in the face" to U.S. Supreme Court justices, who ruled prayer to be illegal in American public schools in 1963.
