I attended 5th grade classes at a public school in Alabama back in the late 70s. One day we had a visitor come to our class and hand out little pocket Bibles to all the students. I think in various parts of the country, the regional culture predominates and they get away with stuff because they are the majority. Is it appropriate to hand out Bibles in public school? How is it less appropriate than posting scripture in the courthouse?

Did he have each and every student's parents permission? I for one am extremely opposed to strangers approaching children with literature of any sort without the parents full knowledge and permission.

In California, high school kids are forced to read the koran and a lot of mystical goddess garbage. A 7th grader we know was not allowed to read an essay she wrote aloud in class because she described her desk, which had a bible on it.
