Schools use $1 bills to comply with law requiring display of 'In God We Trust'

The district in Lexington provided each school with framed copies of a one-dollar bill.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky’s 2nd largest school system, Fayette County Public Schools, is taking a unique approach to comply with a new state law that requires schools post the motto, "In God We Trust" in a prominent place in each school.

The district in Lexington provided each school with framed copies of a one-dollar bill.

"So, I think it's great that a school district especially in a larger, urban area would feel like they shouldn't single anybody out and make sure everybody kind of feels as included as the law will allow,” said Brittany Pike, a parent.

The lawmaker behind the law, Republican Representative Brandon Reed, said he is disappointed to see schools quote "spend time searching for silly loopholes."
