Ok, here we go with more drama.  There’s a point I’m trying to get to that will be at the end of the post.  It’s going to be a slightly long hike to get there, and I apologize for that.  But all the information is important.

Pennsylvania has been dealing with a budget crisis for months that is still not resolved.  But apparently there are more important issues to tackle, like making sure schools can put up the words “In God We Trust”: The bill, also known as the National Motto Display Act, would allow public schools in Pennsylvania to display “In God We Trust” (and the Bill of Rights) in classrooms and other areas of school buildings.
