Well, but it wouldn't hurt them to read a revised version.

I hate to disagree with most of the posters, but I feel that handing out Bibles, or any religious texts, in a public school is inappropriate.

Once you allow that, you can have people handing out Korans, the 'sacred' writings of Ron Hubbard, or the scribblings of Madelaine Mary O'Hare.

Public school is there to teach our children how to read, write, and cipher.

It is also there to teach them science, English, history, and how to think for themselves.

If people want their children given a religious education, send them to religious schools.

Or depend upon the home and the church or temple.

To bring religious fractiousness into public schools will only undermine the ability of the teachers to do their jobs.

Public schools are there to educate everyone.

If someone wants to hand Bibles, or other texts, off campus, they should be free to do so.

But to do it on school grounds can only lead to diminution of the educational experience.
