Senator Josh Hawley has called for a significant shift in the cultural symbols present in American public schools and federal buildings. Speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition Conference in D.C. on June 21, 2024, Hawley advocated for removing the Pride and trans flags from schools and federal buildings, respectively, and replacing them with the Bible and the phrase 'In God We Trust.' He emphasized the need for increased Christian influence in society, arguing that religion unites America and criticizing what he described as attempts by the 'radical left' to erase the country's biblical foundations.
“We don’t need less Christian influence in our society. We need more. We ought to take the pride flag out of schools and put the Bible back in. We ought to take the trans flag down from federal buildings and write ‘In God We Trust.’” —@HawleyMO https://t.co/1y0pQw421E

“More ABCs & less LGBTs in our public schools.... Radical activists are trying to use America’s public schools to change the culture of our country, & Biden is helping them. Now is the time to stand for children, the truth, & America. It’s up to us to stop them.” @4TiffanyJustice https://t.co/JAig7bmmCB
