Well, in this day and age I have to side with the judge. If they allowed Bibles, next they’d have to allow Qurans to be distributed to the children.

I don’t like the ACLU but shouldn’t those kids have a Bible given to them already by their parents from the time they were first able to read it?

I’m assuming this is a public school. If so I’m surprised this practice lasted as long as it did. It just opens the door to every group under the sun insisting they have a right to pass out propaganda to children...the Koran, the book of Scientology, the Gorean Global Warming Bible... where would it end? Better to allow churches to distribute Bibles OUTSIDE of the public classrooms.

Did the children of the parents filing the suite have to take the Bibles? Or were they just offered them?
Since they have been doing this for such a long time, my guess is that anyone who wanted one could take one and anyone who did not could turn it down...and I am okay with that.
My guess is also that if CAIR showed up offering to give away Qurans, that very few, if any, would be accepted.

Let the good folks distribute the Bibles either off school property or else door to door. I agree that id Bibles could be distributed then so could the Koran.

The purpose of both practices "is the promotion of Christianity by distributing Bibles to elementary school students," Perry wrote. "The policy has the principle or primary effect of advancing religion by conveying a message of endorsement to elementary school children."So what? Obviously, this judge has never bothered to read Amendment I. Again,
Congress
shall pass no law . . .No act of Congress here.

And they would have to allow tracts from earth worshipers, such as Al Gore’s movie, whoops, we forgot, they are doing that. Earth worship has become the establishment religion, just what our founders feared has happened, one sect is being paid for by everyone else’s taxes.

Well, perhaps they should try to hand out Korans, then when that is allowed, sue for violation of 14th Amendment, and separation of church and state rules.

So you think in California and other states they haven’t supplied Qurans as well as prayer time/rooms?

Both of your responses are indicative of the very reason this is allowed to happen.
May God have mercy on these children and our nation.
God bless the Gideons.
