[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is NOT ok.  Not because of the sign itself - a few years back, that would have just been an odd place to reference a dollar bill.  In the current circumstances it is a dog whistle to Christian nationalism and everything that entails.

I find it extremely offensive.  I would avoid that school.  I would definitely complain.[/quote]

So, you’d avoid every school in Virginia. Didn’t you see above that it’s display is required?[/quote]

I remember when this was signed into law.  It was over the objections of many many people, but at that time VA was still red and GOP religious zealots controlled the legislature.  The little signs were actually distributed by an extreme right wing Christian group, and schools had to display them. I guess the democrats never got around to getting rid of that stupid, likely unconstitutional law.  However, most of the signs disappeared at some point, and I haven't seen one in years.  So if it's up now.....I would guess it is a reflection of the principal's personal religious and political beliefs more so than any mostly forgotten law.[/quote]
