“I told them to get a Bible and show me where it said that. They insisted adamantly that they couldn’t do that because Bibles were banned in public schools. I was taken aback since I had actually expected some of the kids to have Bibles with them, as religious kids commonly did when I was in school.”

These kids had probably been programmed by their parents and preachers to believe that Bibles are banned in public schools, and praying is not allowed. I kept a Bible and a copy of the Koran in my classroom and used them when I taught information about the world’s major religions in the world history classes I taught. There is so much BS that certain Americans believe about public schools, and none of it is true. I had students who brought their Bibles to class and read them after they completed a quiz or a test before we moved on to new material. There were Bible study sessions before school on public school property, and there was a Fellowship of Christian Athletes organization at the same school.
