Exactly why schools shouldn't be handing out bibles. You wouldn't like it if they gave your kids a Koran. Some people who are of a different belief wouldn't like their kids to be given bibles.

Just curious, what would one give an atheist? The captive audience of a school aside, a Bible is fine if the intentions are sincere. That's how I got a couple of mine.

Fellatious reasoning.
Where is your evidence that anyone is being forced to accept Bibles?

Forcing anything , be it a bible or a roll of toilet paper, on those who do not want to receive it, fundamentally hurts. I didn't see any force being used in the story. Care to point it out?

The least they could have done was to ask for the willing recipients and hand the bibles to them only. So continue to give 5th graders Bibles just don't do it in school grounds. Is their purpose to spread the word of God or force a court case?

I remember the Gideons gave away New Testaments to my classmates and me when I was in the 4th and 5th grades.
Somehow, our Republic survived.

There are few atheists in the fifth grade, I think. Most people come to their atheism as adults, and I don't know a single atheist who doesn't own a Bible. I have several, in different translations and languages.
Most atheists have read the Bible. Some have studied it closely.

"Was that intentional?" - Your guess. [Actually it is a case of double entendre, signifying the quality and proper use of reasoning in question.]

hmmmm
so school boards should not have discretion at a local level and in the community to act in good faith?

I am sick and tired of the courts declaring everybody a victim. Somebody being offered pages of paper with a binding is not a victim of anything. Would he rule the same if people were handing out pencils with the words, "Go Steelers?"

O.K. Jim Talent; jump on this, make it a campaign issue. The close race you're in will become a run-away for our side.
