LEROY, Mich. – A school board in Michigan has voted unanimously to restore the motto ‘In God We Trust’ to a sign at a local elementary school after it was covered up following complaints.
The Pine River School Board approved the restoration on Monday after hearing comments from both sides of the issue.
Due to budget cuts, the district had to consolidate its elementary schools earlier this year, so it decided to have a sign created to reflect the new changes. A 1940′s graduate of the school created the design, which was not reviewed in advance by the district.
