Since when is the BIBLE not considered a book available in most libraries? Give her the book for her personal library. It is a teaher’s job to encourage kids to read so what is the problem with these people.
It’s not like she was giving the child a copy of LADY CHATTERLY’S LOVER or CANDY. (Dang! That just revealed my age!)
The PTO in kids’ elementary school (public) meets in the school library. I noticed at last month’s meeting that there were copies of the Bible on the shelf. I haven’t asked my 8th grader if they have copies in their library, but I would bet they do.
At that meeting, the principal was asked if she had ever had a problem with parents giving her grief about having Christmas parties and programs (and calling them as such). She said she hadn’t, but that she would lose her job before she called them anything other than Christmas parties or programs because that’s what was being celebrated. I love small towns ;)
