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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, in this day and age I have to side with the judge. If they allowed Bibles, next theyd have to allow Qurans to be distributed to the children.No, they wouldn't. Schools and the districts thereof are administered by the local school board, elected by the people of the community, with some input by the state. The federal government is not the ruler of local school districts. The local community ought to be allowed to decide curriculum, personnel, building sites, and policies.
Now, if the locals wanted to give out Qurans, fine.
This judge should have said, "This is not a federal issue. Take it back to your states." I can only hope the appeals court will turn back this latest overreach of the federal judiciary.

“Well, in this day and age I have to side with the judge. If they allowed Bibles, next theyd have to allow Qurans to be distributed to the children.”
What is likely to happen? Bibles will be banned and Qurans will be allowed. I predict that, somehow, the ruling against Bibles will not apply to other “religious literature.” Qurans will be introduced as sensitivity, get-along-with-the-Muslims training.
