‘In God We Trust’: display in Kentucky schools marks effort to mix church and state

When students returned to Kentucky public schools last month after summer vacation, they may have noticed something different: the words “In God We Trust” displayed in a prominent location in their school, as is now mandated by law.
Kentucky’s law could seem innocuous enough; after all, the words are the national motto and appear on American currency.
