Okay, that's a reasonable interpretation that seems to make money acceptable. I still find it curious that somehow god's name was placed on U.S. money to begin with...I suspect to help give it legitimacy.
What about the First Ammendment "no establishment of religion by government" aspect?
CTA_Busa_LE you quote Thomas Jefferson...a wise man...
(from Wikipedia..citations available)
In his 1787 Notes on the State of Virginia, Jefferson stated: "Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make half the world fools and half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the world..."
Jefferson sought what he called a "wall of separation between Church and State," which he believed was a principle expressed by the First Amendment. This phrase has been cited several times by the Supreme Court in its interpretation of the Establishment Clause.[55]

There's nothing wrong with personal faith or belief in a deity. There most certainly is with forcing those beliefs on others. In this case, there's nothing wrong with a child professing the religious beliefs he/she has been indoctrinated with on a piece of paper - though then hanging these pieces of paper in a government sponsored provider of education is concerning. It is unfortunate that most of these children will probably leave this event with the "us against them" mentality, vs. the "It's disrespectful to push personal beliefs on others." message.
Inclusion, respect, and tolerance for different beliefs, or lack thereof, to what small degree this is present in the U.S., is one of the biggest reasons we enjoy the level of stability in our society that we do today. Religious beliefs, or lack thereof, are a personal choice...not something a local school should be teaching, promoting, or hanging on its walls.
Again...just for a second...imagine the outrage here if one, two, or a hundred of those students instead wrote "In Allah We Trust" on the bottom of their posters. There would be riots in the streets in some parts of the U.S. if that occurred. For that reason alone, there is a reason to prohibit such displays in a school hallway.
Odd how bigotry and intolerance never made it into the ten commandments as sins. I guess those are necessary to some degree for the promotion of any religion.
