Hey everybody. This is disturbing, extremely irresponsible ( both WAY understated on my part for the politeness aspect) and, correct me if I am wrong, a blatant violation of federal law. Keep in church bible class, and out of science class. Why has this not been challenged in the nearest federal court? A few years ago, we had a young man here, a high school student who brought a bible to school to read during study hall. He shared it with no one, talked to no one about it, just read it quietly by himself. It was for his own private perusal. He was ordered not to bring it with him to school again. He did, and was EXPELLED, not suspended. ( IMO he should have been able to read it in school, under the circumstances, as he kept it private, and read it on his free time) For this flipping of the bird to go unchallenged is outrageous.

Could you let us have the full verifiable details of this please? There are countless such stories floating around and most are gross exaggerations, or outright lies.
