This nation was founded on the principal of freedom of speech and religion. The ground beyond the school is public property, and is thus an open forum for the free discussion of ideas. The Gideons have been in existence for over a century (the organization was founded in 1899) and these school Bible distributions are the offering of free New Testaments. The students can either accept them or turn them down. The Gideons don't preach; they let God's Word do the talking for them.

It is sad day when media driven hype about child molesters is used as a pretext to suppress God given rights recognized in our Constitution. In fact, the problem of sexual perversion has no doubt been exacerbated by the expulsion of the Christian faith from the public arena by left wing judicial decisions, ACLU lawsuits, and other types of liberal activism. Until the 1960s, the Gideons were often permitted access to distribute New Testaments on public school campuses. Many of our social problems would be lessened if Biblical examples were exalted by the mass media, instead of the antics of human trash like Paris Hilton or the late Anna Nicole Smith.

The people who attack the freedom of religion and speech are as much enemies of America as any Taliban or Al Qaida terrorist. They are the enemy within.

You are absolutely clueless. If you had a child who had even come close to being sexually molested, I'll bet you would hardly remember all of these dates in history. You would not see past your broken child. Get off your out-dated high horse and hear for the millionth time. No one came down on these men for bibles. They were asked to get off school grounds and did not. It really is that simple!

If that is not simple enough, try driving up or down US 1 anywhere in the Florida Keys at rush hour at the beginning of a school day or dismissal of a school day (assuming you are not stuck at an open draw bridge. Do it on a daily basis. You would probably ask someone hindering the process to move as well. It really is that EXTRA simple!!!
