College Rivalries and Custom Plates

I'm going to hope this is because the proper spelling was already taken.

License Plate Culture Wars


"An Indiana man, Jason Borneman, has been turned down by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to get a personalized license plate that reads "NO GODS." This, from a state that offers an official state license plate that reads "In God We Trust."

Jason made his request for the plate after becoming increasingly annoyed by the growing popularity of the state's "In God We Trust" plates."

I wonder why he went with Gods, plural.  Anyway.  Mr. Borneman has contacted the ACLU and the Freedom from Religion Foundation for back up.

Opinion:  I doubt this will go anywhere, but I suppose we'll see.  Historically, in the few cases about supposed censorship on license plates, courts have decided that license plates are not public forums, and so what can be put on them is limited.
