Civil rights activists are ringing alarm bells following a new law taking effect in Texas

Posters with ‘In God We Trust’ have begun popping up in schools across the state.

The new regulations require schools to display any donated items bearing this phrase.

The Southlake Anti-Racism Coalition says it’s โ€œdisturbedโ€ and concerned by the precedent displaying these posters will set.
