Well, the superintendent of the school says that the matter should have been dealt with differently.

School officials dispute the free reading claim but who really knows? Maybe they are trying to cover their own ass? Based on the voicemail the teacher left the father, it seems that the religious book was singled out.



If there was a small list of books available to choose from, then it's not free reading. If it was actual free reading time (without a particular list) then the teacher should obviously be fired.

coming from a guy who thinks police shouldn't be fired for physically assaulting suspects your credibility isn't very high up there mr Christian, stop being a zealot to protect your book.

The Bible is filled with pornography and murder, so unless you think Playboy is allowed the Bible should be banned, too.

not to mention the fact that reading the bible as an individual will do jack shit because religious scholars interpretations>the actual words in the book.

the situation seems to be that the children were allowed to read any book of their choice and the sole reason for the banning is that it was a religious book.

if there was more reasoning beyond it being a religious book then it would be a different story, such as if the teacher had assigned specific books or a specific genre for the class and the bible didn't fit.

all in all it dosnt seem that much different than going to get lunch at a diner and being refused service soely based on your skin color.

the teacher needs to be fired and the school sued for religious discrimination.

This is the most retarded thing I've ever read.



I stand corrected.

I'd be offended if i was the one that came up with that policy, but thats the viewpoint of the church.

you have never read the bible obviously

Looks to me like the kid just wasn't listening. In my experience it's "free reading" in the sense that you have a free period to read the books from the assigned list. Not just read whatever you want. If it was just read whatever you wanted except for religious books then I would agree with you.

"I noticed that he has a book — a religious book in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom."

- The teacher

A. it seems the students were allowed to choose the books they read for the curriculum.
b. there is no reason offered other than it being a religious book.


This is religious discrimination.
