A teacher in central France has been suspended after he read passages of the Bible to his primary school pupils. Education authorities in the staunchly secular country have been accused of overreacting.

The teacher was suspended from his school in Malicornay, in the department of Indre, after reading Bible passages to pupils aged between nine and eleven.

Religious persecution is apparently fine, however.

“strict secularism”

Isn’t Secularism just another religion? It’s so dogmatic that its practitioners insist it’s not just a faith, but rather absolute truth.

After 3500 years that book of “myths and fables” still strikes terror into the hearts of those who would rule over men.

The Iliad-OK
The Odyssey -OK
The Aeneid-OK
The Sibylline oracles-OK.
The Quran-OK

The Bible -(gasp) Bring on the smelling salts!

I wish there were a few School Teachers with balls, they should teach Just the Passages from the book of death(koran) and the hadith tat deals with homosexuals.

LET THEM CHOKE ON ISLAM!

I’m sure if she had stayed with something like 50 Shades of Grey, everything would be OK.

Heh. It’s funny, but I place Homer in the same category as the Bible as far as this issue goes. Maybe he’s been left so far behind that nobody thinks of him anymore. Dunno.
