This Is Still Texas, Right?

KELLER - Keller school district officials say they regret that hundreds of people were upset by a decision to omit the words “In God We Trust” from a nickel on the front of the Liberty Elementary School yearbook. On Monday, district officials said they have received hundreds of complaints and calls from national media. The phrase wasn’t included on the nickel depicted on the 2005-06 yearbook cover because it “might create an issue with people of several religious faiths,” Superintendent James Veitenheimer wrote Sunday in a mass e-mail to parents. Instead, a sticker was included for families who wanted to add the phrase. (Source: Star Telegram)
