BENTONVILLE, AR - An atheist group has threatened the Bentonville Public School District to not comply with Arkansas Act 911, a new law enacted which provides for the display of the National Motto, "In God We Trust," in public schools as a patriotic and historic display. Liberty Counsel has offered pro bono counsel and defense for the school district.
The American Atheists, founded by the late Madalyn Murray O'Hair, has issued a letter to over 260 superintendents across the state, claiming that the display is unconstitutional and threatening to file suit in federal court if the school district complies with the new law.
