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.

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.

You’re exactly correct. That’s the way it’s been handled for decades. Some school boards allow the classroom distribution, others won’t allow it and so a sidewalk distribution is necessary. In that way what goes on inside the classroom more closely reflects the desires of the community.

This is one of the reasons we need school choice so parent’s tax dollars can go to support the type of education they desire rather than having federal mandates rammed down their throats.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is not OK for the local voting mob to herd other people’s children into local government indoctrination centers and subject them to a religiously non-neutral indoctrination. Remember that behind every government school teacher and employee is a police gun. ( real bullets in those guns on the hip.)

Please read post #33.

Solution: Complete separation of School and State!
