School won't let students read the Bible during "read to yourself" time..

Yurt, you are trolling the thread; you looked like a fool as usual because you posted without checking.

You can cry and whine all you want, but it is what it is.

The school district will work this out fine, and the teacher will be given some training.

Great news! There was some fear that Jake had elected to no longer lie among us!

Welcome home; we missed you*!

That was a mirror, Fakie.

I was right, take God out of school and we are doomed. Liberals have been taking God out of goverment, and look at our country.

And which god was taken out of school? Must be a very weak kind of god to be so offended?

By the way I don't care what students read as long as they READ!

If that teacher didn't like what was being read, they can just get over it. If they want respect, they got to show some first because it isn't a one way street.

God bless you and the child always!!!

Remove a bible, you're a democrat. Remove a Koran, you're dead.

My iPad capitalizes Koran but not bible.

I'll try to intentionally not capitalize koran and see if my iPad explodes.

“They are letting them read the Hunger Games,” parent Jennifer Muse told KHOU. “That’s kids killing kids. Why can’t she read the Bible?”

So, its not because there's a rule against wasting your time reading fiction ...?

You would have no reason to know this but there are many uses for the word "bible" but only one for "Koran".

Same with the word "god".

I'm willing to bet the school has no copies of the Koran, but we already know they have copies of the Bible. Idiot.

One fictional read is as good as the other anyways.

 

[HenryBHough]

Had the teacher snatched away a copy of the koran (intentional) said teacher would have been stoned to death within minutes.

Peacefully, of course.

If its read to yourself time, there is no reason why the kid can't read the Bible. Teacher was wrong.

Read to myself time definitely sounds like personal reading time. There is no reason she could not read the Bible or anything else she wanted that is age appropriate. That's like saying the girl could not pray silently during her own personal time while in school.
