Reply To: 3rd Circuit: Parent Can’t Read Bible to Son’s Public School Class

Proud Tatty, you wrote, “The freedom here is the ability to go to a public school without hearing someone talk about their religion.”

Actually, the incident concerned a “Tell Us About Yourself” event at the school. But I guess it should have been called “Tell Us About Yourself (but leave out anything about your relgious beliefs)”.

What is the point about “diversity” in schools if the school will edit a student when he mentions his religious beliefs? Is it so dangerous to the other children that they will come away indelibly scarred and damaged because one of their classmate’s favorite book is the Bible and he wanted his mother to read a short excerpt?

But, my interest in this is the fact that Jewish groups felt compelled to weigh in. I wish they hadn’t.
