Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to schools; to require display of the state motto and the national motto; and to authorize contributions.
AI Summary
This bill requires all school boards in Nebraska to prominently display two specific mottos: the national motto "In God We Trust" and the state motto "Equality Under the Law" in each school building. The mottos must be written legibly in English on a poster or plaque that is at least 8.5 by 11 inches in size, and placed in a location where students can easily see and read them every day school is in session. The bill also allows school boards to accept financial contributions to help cover the costs of purchasing and installing these motto displays. The legislation appears aimed at promoting patriotic and state-specific values by ensuring students are regularly exposed to these official mottos during their school day.
