Republican Sen. Dan Hall, representing Minnesota’s 56th
district, recently sponsored a bill that would allow schools to display a
poster with the words “In God We Trust.” Hall told “Fox & Friends” that he
hoped the proposed bill, which would utilize private funds to pay for the
posters, would help bring respect back to schools.
“I only
assume that if you take those things out of government, if you take the things
that are respectful out, you’re going to put in something different. We need to
bring respect back to our country,” Hall said.
However,
two of Minnesota’s Democratic state senators, Scott Dibble and John Marty, are
strongly opposed to the bill. Both argue that the posters could be viewed as
“offensive.” Certainly by Dibble and Marty: “The money in my wallet has to say ‘In
God We Trust.’ I think that’s
offensive,” Marty said on the State Senate floor, Fox News reported.
The
Dynamic Democratic Duo are also browned off that schools in Minnesota have to
fly an American flag and are required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance once a
week.
Writer’s
embellishment:
Marty
added that the presence of “E Plurubus Unum” on coins also “pisses me off,”
while Dibble said he is offended by the word “Liberty.” Another Democratic
state senator said that she was “outraged” by the term “Annuit Coeptis,” found
above the Great Seal on American currency, though she admitted she “didn’t
really know what it means.”
