[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read all the posts on this thread.  Just the first page.

Do some of you not understand that there is NOTHING unconstitutional about students carrying a Bible to school?  Nothing. 
This does not come under “separation of church and state.”  A student is free to bring whatever book he/she wants to bring (as long as it is not porn).  
An individual student also has the right to express their beliefs... even in a school!  GASP!  How dare a student profess his/her belief in Christ publicly!!!  
What are you people so worried about?  What are you afraid of?  [/quote]
You don't get it. It is completely inappropriate for Christian children to "educate" children who belong to a minority religion as to the wonders of Jesus. It is a form of proselytizing and has no place in a public school.

I bet you think it's fine having prayers to Jesus in school, too?

It's hard for those in the majority religion to understand how doing that makes those in the minority religion feel like outcasts, or "different"....or, wrong. With all the attention on making students all feel equal - gold stars for everyone; no picking out team members one-by-one.....why is there no sensitivity for the feelings of non-Christian children? The place for children to profess their belief in Christ is in church or in private settings. Keep it out of the public school system.[/quote]

I personally agree that religion is a private matter, but respect the fact that Christian kids have the(virtually) absolute constitutional right to exercise their religion.

Their rights trump your sensitivities.  The same principle protects Muslims wearing headscarves, Orthodox Jews's payots, and the smart-aleck Satanists in this thread.

Just as with free speech, the principle is sound even if it occasionally makes us uncomfortable.[/quote]
