Alarm is quickly growing over a recent push to force religious displays in Texas public schools. Senate Bill 797 requires Texas public schools to display donated "In God We Trust" posters. The law was signed by Republican Governor Greg Abbott in June 2021 and went into effect the following September but did not get much attention because most school districts were not practicing in-person classes due to the pandemic. The law is very specific, requiring that public schools and colleges only display "donated" signs or "purchased from private donations" in a "conspicuous place." Texas-based cell phone company, Patriot Mobile, which donates a portion of customers' phone bills to conservative Christian causes, donated several "In God We Trust" signs. "We are honored to be part of bringing God back into our public schools!" the company exclaimed in a Facebook Post. Secular activist Chaz Stevens is fighting back creatively; he plans on donating posters to schools around the state - in Arabic. This cleverly plays on the fact that God in Arabic translates to "Allah," which may make Christian conservatives realize the consequences of their actions. As far as he can tell, there is no "English only" requirement in the law. His Gofundme page says they will design, print, deliver, and donate 500+ posters in various languages, including Hindi, "Gay Pride" (meaning rainbow), Spanish, Vulcan, Klingon, and others. Stevens says that if the campuses refuse to display his donations, he will file a lawsuit and use the court case to challenge the statute.
