Activist fundraises to send Arabic "In God We Trust" signs to Texas schools​

• Shawna Chen

A Florida activist is fundraising to donate Arabic "In God We Trust" signs to Texas schools after a state law was enacted to require signs with the U.S. motto in public schools.
Why it matters: Critics have called the statute, which mandates that schools display the signs in a "conspicuous place" if they are donated, an attempt to reinforce Christian nationalist values across the state.

• The signs must "contain a representation of the United States flag centered under the national motto and a representation of the state flag." No other words, images or information are allowed.

Driving the news: Chaz Stevens, from Boca Raton, Fla., launched the GoFundMe page this week to "voice our dissent" with the law, according to a message posted on the fundraising platform.

• He says he plans to flood Texas schools with "hundreds" of donations of Arabic-language "In God We Trust" posters.
• "[W]e will not be silent while evangelical Christians stomp our collective rights."

By the numbers: The fundraiser, which was first reported by the Dallas Morning News, has raised over $18,000 as of Thursday evening.
The big picture: Several states have passed similar laws requiring the display of the motto in recent years.

• Opponents argue that such laws impose religion on students and subvert expectations that schools remain secular.

I don't see this as a problem.

1. If the law was intended to promote a religion, then the law will be quickly repealed when folks start talking "Allah".

2. If the law was NOT intended to promote a religion, then there's no problem with the signs.

Win-win.

Honestly why would anyone object to the signs? I'm sure some will, but I don't understand what they could argue.

And this is why I've always been against prayer in schools, specific religious celebrations, etc in school.

It's a great example of "Be careful what you wish for".

They will absolutely be pissed that they are Arabic or mention Allah. "This is 'Merica and 'Merica is a Christian Nation!, Herp Derp!!!!"
