Scotus was correct banning the Bible in schools. Teaching the Bible in government schools is in direct violation of the First Amendment.

Please answer this question honestly: Would you want a Muslim school teacher to teach your child in religious matters? Should a Muslim child be forced to take Bible instruction in school?

Religious instruction must remain in the home and the place of worship, lest it be corrupted.

I'm a Christian, Missouri Synod Lutheran to be specific. I don't want the Bible taught through the local school because I wouldn't want a Southern Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, or a Methodist teaching religious dogma to my children. A case in point: I didn't experience Bible lessons in school until my family moved from Colorado to Kentucky in 1961. The Bible studies there were conducted mostly by Southern Baptists; and, I can assure you they do no share much common ground with Lutherans. The students also made a mockery out of that entire time period. I heard a fairly steady stream of comments from my classmates that included sexual innuendos and other blasphemy during the duration of those "Bible Studies". I cannot tell you how happy I was when that was stopped.

After ratification in 1788, several states taxed their citizens to support state religious institutions.
