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.

Sorry, but you're wrong on all counts (as is the judge). There is nothing wrong with a NON-TAXPAYER FUNDED group passing out anything at all. It's not the job of the school to be "gatekeeper" on ANY topic. If the kid's parents require them to toss whatever freebies they get, then THAT is the correct way to handle the problem. As long as the Bibles weren't purchased by tax dollars, then, as far as I'm concerned, it's perfectly OK to allow them to be distributed .
