Students fight ban on giving Bibles at school

[Snake65]

Hand out condoms? Yes! Hand out bibles? NO!

What a world.

[Arthur McGowan]

The students should ask the school administrators HOW THEY KNOW that the Bibles are "religious." They should press them on that point: "Speaking AS A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, how do you distinguish a religious from a non-religious book? What religious dogmas does the GOVERNMENT hold that enable the GOVERNMENT to declare what is "religious" and what is not "religious"? If the GOVERNMENT holds no religious positions, how does it distinguish what is "religious" from non-"religious"? If the GOVERNMENT is neutral with regard to religion, how does the GOVERNMENT identify what is "religious"?

The thing that angered me most about bans in schools I couldn't set up a candy stand I would have made a fortune.

good to see there are kids willing to fight for their rights

[2nd_Amendment_Defender]

They will protect the THEORY of evolution in schools as a fact that really happened, but the minute you say anything about God creating man, that is completely offensive and unacceptable.

The schools and the educators have this a**backwards. They think that since the school cannot discuss religion than nobody can. They fail to see that while the school cannot - state sponsored and all that c**p - the students can because they do not work for the school or the state. Unless, of course, they think that the child is a ward of the state.

[Amelia]

the schools allow students to distribute fliers that advertise nonreligious activities.

Somehow I think the school is going to lose this one.
