The freedom of religion at Liberty Elementary School has gone too far for some parents at the Colleyville school.

The cover of the Keller ISD school's annual depicts the 2005 Liberty Nickel – complete with the face of Thomas Jefferson – but the words "In God We Trust" are missing. Instead, the $16 yearbook contains a sticker with the credo and directions on how to apply it to the cover if the owner chooses.

Debbi Ackerman was one of the parents who questioned the missing phrase when her daughter brought the annual home from school. "She said the teachers told them there was some people who didn't believe in God, and that when they got home – don't do it at school – but affix it when they got home," Mrs. Ackerman said.

"In this case, I think it was the principal making every effort to make sure that all faiths were respected," Jason Meyer said.

1. Those parents who complain are fucking bigots...

I really hate this "Christianity has to be revered" shit that they bitch about all the damned time.

2. I hope some courageous people will step up to support that principal.
