Last night and yesterday, we had an organization at our school called FUTURENOW (google it-futurenow.us)

Their goal: positive thinking, good choices and, prepare yourself, Christ! Yes! In a public school! With BIBLES to give away!

I know this may come as a shock that such would happen in a public school, but when you live in the Rural South, and I do mean RURAL South, you can have this sort of thing happen and not get the ACLU all bent out of shape.

There are some good things that happen in schools once and a while, and the ACLU needs to chill. You are not required to take a copy, but to be fair, there should be a Koran too, which you can pick up IF YOU CHOOSE. (I am not endorsing Islam, merely making a point)

We had “Young Life” when I was in high school (in the South). Looking back on it, I know it would not fly today, as they has access to the PA system, handed out flyers in class, used the locked bulletin boards for displays, etc.
If other religious groups asked for and were granted that kind of access today, a lot of people would come unglued.

At a school where I used to teach, the local ministerial alliance each year gave a personalized Bible to each graduating senior.

I never heard any complaints, but again, it was in the rural South...
