Birmingham, Ala. • Months after getting legislative approval, some public schools in Alabama are considering putting up “In God We Trust” displays.
The motto could soon become more common in Alabama schools, Al.com reported. Legal challenges are expected to follow.
State lawmakers in February approved legislation allowing such displays on public property.
Blount County’s school board is set to become one of the first systems to take action, the news site reported. A policy on the issue could be drafted within the next month, Blount County Superintendent Rodney Green said.
Observers view Blount County as a testing ground for the upcoming legal battles with organizations that advocate for the separation of church and state.
