West Virginia's schools might be forced to pay for 'In God We Trust' signage

West Virginia’s almost entirely Republican state Senate passed a bill in late January that would require schools in the state to display “In God We Trust'' signs—in every single classroom. When the state’s House Education Committee took up the bill, it was initially amended to require signage in a single prominent area of each school facility. But on Thursday, when the House Judiciary Committee reviewed it, Republican Del. Geoff Foster amended the bill’s language to once again require each classroom to display the signage.

Since there is no plan for how to pay for the signs, West Virginia’s cash-strapped educational institutions would likely be forced to foot the bill.
