Some 2,300 once-disputed In God We Trust classroom displays have arrived at the Kern High School District and are in various stages of being pinned up, district spokesman John Teves said Wednesday.
East Bakersfield High School, for example, has its posters up while other schools are preparing to do the same within the next week, he said.
The approximately 40 posters to be framed and permanently mounted at places like school libraries have not arrived yet.
After a spirited community debate, the Kern High School District voted late last year to place the posters in classrooms districtwide.
While the initial debate centered on displaying posters with the national motto — In God We Trust — the agreed-upon ones going up now also include parts of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.
