When students return to public schools across South Dakota this fall there should be a new message displayed in a common area, a cafeteria, entryway or other prominent location.

A new state law that took effect this month requires all public schools in the state's 149 districts to display the national motto "In God We Trust."

The South Dakota lawmakers who proposed the law said the requirement was meant to inspire patriotism in the state's public schools.

The executive director of the Associated School Boards of South says his group pushed to include language in the bill that directs the state's attorney general to represent schools or districts that might be sued over the religious message at no cost.

"In God We Trust" was adopted as the U.S. motto in 1956 with the passage of a bill that President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law.
