You are correct about the National Motto and the objections to it.
Looking at an analysis of the law, it appears to require only one poster per building.
"AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
The phrase "In God We Trust" has been prominent in American public life since 1864, when it was first placed on an American coin. Since that time, it has been used in near-unbroken fashion on American coinage and became the official motto of the United States on July 30, 1956, when President Eisenhower signed Public Law 84-140.
After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, states began enacting legislation to allow or require the display of the national motto in public buildings, with an emphasis on public schools. According to a National Conference of State Legislatures report, 19 states had enacted such legislation by September 2019. Nine states allow the display of the motto, nine states require the display of the motto, and one state requires the display if the motto is donated. Texas law currently allows the display, and S.B. 797 will require the display if the motto is donated or purchased from private donations.
(Original Author's/Sponsor's Statement of Intent)
S.B. 797 amends current law relating to the display of the national motto in public schools and institutions of higher education.
SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS
SECTION 1. Amends Section 1.004, Education Code, as follows:

existing text. Requires, rather than authorizes, a public elementary or secondary school or
an institution of higher education as defined by Section 61.003 (Definitions) to display in
a conspicuous place in each building of the school or institution a durable poster or
framed copy of the United States national motto, "In God We Trust," if the poster or
framed copy meets the requirements of Subsection (b) and is donated for display at the
school or institution, or purchased from private donations and made available to the
school or institution. Deletes existing text authorizing a public school or institution of
higher education to display the United States national motto, "In God We Trust," in each
classroom, auditorium, and cafeteria.
(b) Provides that a poster or framed copy of the national motto described by
Subsection (a):
(1) is required to contain a representation of the United States flag
centered under the national motto and a representation of the state flag;
and
(2) is prohibited from depicting any words, images, or other information
other than the representations listed in Subdivision (1).
(c) Authorizes a public elementary or secondary school and an institution of
higher education to accept and use private donations for the purposes of
Subsection (a).
SECTION 2. Effective date: upon passage or September 1, 2021."

Why would someone be angry about that?
I think everyone is over it already... including
Chaz....when he found out his sign did not qualify under the law...
Yes. Only a Pedo Don cocksucker would disagree.
The law says it must contain "In God We Trust", the US flag, the Texas flag no other words or images... Does this particular one qualify?
Like you, I not a fucking lawyer, pup. Now tell me why the sign doesn't qualify? The words are "In God We Trust". Does the reference specify English?
Yak had all the humor beat out of him at the same time his spine was removed. Now he just whines on the Internet. Sad.
I'm guessing the Texas Republicans will pass a bill that the sign must be in white man language Aryan English....which is more evidence they are racist fuckwits who only believe in a White Aryan God.

The law was passed last summer. At the time, there were more concerns about the pandemic than the signs – and only now are more being donated, The Texas Tribune reports.
Republican state Sen. Bryan Hughes authored the bill and has shared updates as groups have started making donations to different districts and schools.
The law requires the posters or signs to be donated or "purchased from private donations," and the U.S. flag and Texas state flag must be represented on the poster as well. It "may not depict any words, images, or other information."
Though the law does not mention English being the only language that can be displayed, Hughes responded to news of Stevens' campaign.
"Read the bill. Sign must contain "In God We Trust" US flag, Texas flag and "may not depict" any other words or images," Hughes wrote. "Print what you like, but only these signs qualify under the law."
Despite that, Stevens is continuing with his plan. In less than a week, he has raised more than $18,000 and counting to fund the purchase of the signs.
He said overall the response has been "wildly supportive."
Stevens is expanding the design to include more languages

The words are not the same....They don't need to change the law, however....that would be silly....
In God We Trust.
As all sane, intelligent and educated people know, translations are not word for word. That's why there are so many interpretations of the Bible.
The Trumpian dumbasses only read the Bible in the original English.
I posted the link...the reason for the sign was silly political antics...I agree....
Think of what could have been done with the money for school children in
Florida? Activists are always so misguided when it comes to helping others...
