Kentucky Court Upholds Rejection of "In God We Trust" Specialty Plates

A Kentucky state trial court has upheld a decision by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet  refusing to approve an "In God We Trust" specialty license plate that an anti-pornography group wanted issued to help it raise funds. XBIZ reported yesterday that the court denied the application by the group Reclaim Our Culture Kentuckiana (ROCK) for the specialty plate because the phrase 'In God We Trust' does not indicate to persons viewing the plate anything about the purpose of the plate's sponsor.  Meanwhile, the state has begun to make "In God We Trust" plates available as standard issue plates, rather than specialty plates.
