Amazing that this is even an issue.

The best thing that happened to my daughter was a 3rd grade teacher telling her she could not use her bible for free reading time. From that day forward she never trusted her teachers,

Is it legal to bring your Bible to school? Lawyers weigh in

I think I see the problem...

[Starcitizen]

Yet liberals and schools force the unholy Quran on students...

I’m either homeschooling or keeping my kids in the Philippines until college.

The Left believes that the First Amendment refers to “Freedom FROM religion”.

[moovova]

Armed guards at the schoolhouse front door...

“Bible...nope.”

“Bible...nope.”

“Bible...nope.”

“Koran...ok.”

“Bible...nope.”

Freedom to express your religion is one of our God-given rights as stated in the First Amendment. It is non-negotiable.

[robowombat]

Yes, it says a lot in not a good way as to what we have become as a people.

The founders would be aghast at the godless indoctrination in today’s public schrewls. The Bible was a basic standard textbook of education in their era. There won’t be any Bibles in hell where these godless fools are on the one way train ride.

When I was a child in Public School in 1955, (NYS) the neighborhood priest would come to school and walk us to the church where we could have Religious Instructions.

It was absolutely stupid that he couldn't use a classroom, gym or whatever.

This was a wonderful dedicated priest who married my parents and Hubby and myself.

I’ll bet a Koran isn’t.

Muzzards are sure to be offended. Muzzardy makes a big deal out of discouraging the Faithful from reading the Bible. Why? Well, if you conduct a simultaneous reading of the Bible and the Koran the general incoherence of the latter shows right up. One fellow who converted to Christianity said it was due to reading the Bible which he described as ‘fascinating, generally intelligible, and a remarkable anthology of history, theology, philosophy, and wisdom. Whereas the Koran contains some badly retold Bible stories and a lot of obscurantic nonsense.’

When I was in the 5th grade, the Gideons gave everyone who wanted one, a new testament. I think everyone took up the offer.

I still have mine tho Mother had given me a Bible when I was 9.

Alliance Defending Freedom: First Amendment rights of students to promote and participate in Bring Your Bible to School Day

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Lots of people forget that a Bible is printed under FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, and Freedom of speech.

[Mark17]

I think it’s a bit ironic, since many of them have Bible versions on their cell phones.

Can’t bring a Book to School , that’s a new one

Public education thinks it can be neutral.

Mosque attendance by schools is now a customary practice in the Netherlands. In a recent survey of 380 school leaders by Verus, an association of Catholic and Protestant schools (primary and secondary education), 41% of the respondents reported that they visit non-Christian places of worship as a school. This "nonChristian place of worship" is almost always a mosque. The chairman of Verus, Loes Ypma (former member of parliament for the Dutch Labour Party) apparently sees this as a positive development. "We also find it positive to see", she says in the accompanying press release, "that almost half of the schools surveyed are non-Christian places of worship because it contributes to the understanding and knowledge of other religions. This is very important in our multi-religious society where there is such a need of connection and respect." linky

In the US, most states have "diversity" classes required for anyone getting licensure. See for example, a typical Minnesota course description: Understand the impact of diversity in the classroom: race, culture & ethnicity, class, gender, language, and sexual orientation. Explore nature, causes, and effects of prejudice. Experience methods that enhance the academic success of all children. These courses are meant to soften "prejudice" against fringe and deviant cultural practices,

Even the present Pope prefers, to shut down any direct attempts at conversion.

so.....yinz Liberals are for book banning, eh?

Irony: The Mark of Quality Literature.

[Mastador1]

Unless a student, whatever religion, is proselytizing on campus and is simply reading and studying his/her (screw the alphabeters) Bible than it should not ever be an issue.
