Kettle Falls Middle School in Washington has taken down a picture reading “In God We Trust” over the backdrop of an American flag, after FFRF complained.
FFRF Legal Fellow Madeline Ziegler wrote to the Kettle Falls School District on Nov. 23, 2015. “This posting falsely equates patriotism with piety,” she contended. “Young, impressionable students are apt to believe that the school endorses the religious message of the poster.”
On Feb. 18, the district superintendent informed FFRF that the picture had been removed.
