Letters: U.S. motto in schools - not a problem

ISSUE | IN GOD WE TRUST Not a problem A letter writer was sad that the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed a bill allowing (not requiring) public schools to post the motto "In God we trust" ("A divisive move," Friday). He denounced it as "divisive" and "intolerant," and said the bill would somehow harm the nonreligious and nonmonotheist believers.

ISSUE | IN GOD WE TRUST

Not a problem

A letter writer was sad that the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed a bill allowing (not requiring) public schools to post the motto "In God we trust" ("A divisive move," Friday). He denounced it as "divisive" and "intolerant," and said the bill would somehow harm the nonreligious and nonmonotheist believers.

Right. And I suppose these poor, put-upon minorities are harmed by the dollars they spend with the same motto imprinted on them. Of all the silly, intolerant, and politically correct nonsense espoused by supposedly intelligent people, this ranks among the worst. And that makes me sad.
