Used to be that schools encouraged their students to read books.
People need to start telling their kids:
“If some teacher tells you you can’t read the Bible, just laugh at them and say ‘No’.”
I’d like to hear the whole story here before jumping to a conclusion. I’m not a liberal, after all.
That Bible is dangerous stuff. There’s even writing in it about God!
He should’ve just hidden it inside a Koran.
Government schools are evil.
Bibles, empty cartridges, toaster snack supposedly bitten into a shape of a gun .....school panic!
Find a book jacket from a Quran and wrap that around it to see what the teacher will say.
Actually, it's a pretty racy book. But that's neither here nor there with regard to a Liberal moron posing as a teacher.
Somehow this reminds me of an old MAD magazine cartoon.
Several football players see one of their team members reading a PLAYBOY magazine They begin to razz and make fun of him for reading it!
This goes on for several panels till the last one, in which the reader proclaims “You’re right, guys! I’ll NEVER do it again!” as he pulls his Calculus book out from between the Playboy pages and tosses the Calculus book in the trash.
Perhaps this kid should have hid his bible between the pages of some sleazy magazine.
Sounds like the teacher got all upset over nothing. The teacher wasn’t reading the Bible to the students. The kid in question wasn’t reading the Bible to the students. I don’t see where the school could be accused of any First Amendment violations so the kid should be free to read the Bible during his free time if he wants.

I’m an agnostic, raised shiite Catholic (was an altar boy back when we only spoke Latin) The morality of a Christian upbringing was necessary for America to grow and succeed...as I feel this video suggests.
I got nothing against a kid reading a bible during his free time at school.
But the kid should be warned that he is going to get picked on for being weird.
Even back in the 60’s he would have gotten picked on for whipping out a bible in Junior High. At least where I went to school. If you do not fit the norm, you are teased (called being bullied these days.)
Perhaps the teacher was trying to look out for this little dork. And he is a little dork.
Kids like to rebel so I hope this catches on. The Liberal doctrine is being scoffed at<BR
by students like these.
But if he would have brought that muslim book full of child molestation and murder the teacher wouldn’t have said a thing.
I think I’d want to know what this “free time” was. Was it recess? Or was it unstructured study time? Recess the teacher was wrong, unstructured study time is for class work and that probably doesn’t include the Bible.
You have to try this with a Bible AND A koran, and see if they ban both of them
The Bible was taught in my English 4X class in High School as PART OF THE CURRICULUM.
Public High School, 1984. Not kidding.
We looked at it as literature. It was an outstanding module. These guys need to know that after Paris, and the killing of those two cops in NYC, the pendulum is going to start swinging violently back to the right pretty quick.
Nobody wants to live in Amerabia, or Eurabia, or in Gaylezbostan. Not even the peaceful muslims, honest to goodness real gay folks that just want to be gay, happy, and left alone, and lesbians that are more bi than gay want to live in those places.
Loyal Grandstaff - what a name!
Based on the limited info from the article, the teacher was wrong to stop student from reading the Bible. I suspect a possible zombie-mentality interpretation of PC “church and state separation."
Otherwise, the low-information article from the Blaze is arguably an attempt to promote dissension. The Blaze probably should have waited for more details after parent / teacher confrontation before posting it imo.
