ACLU Questions Bible Distribution at Limestone County Schools in Alabama

 

A teacher in Alabama is being accused by the ACLU of handing out Bibles to students. The Superintendent of Schools says that the facts of the accusations are inaccurate and may even be false. These accusations come after a parent claimed staff members were handing out Bibles and promoting creationism. At Blue Springs Elementary School in Athens, Alabama, a table is placed in the hallway where parents can drop off books for students to take and read. A parent dropped off Bibles for the table along with some other books. The ACLU did not take legal action but questioned the legitimacy of the table hosting the Bibles.

The school continues to host the table for books for student reading. They will not remove the books and Bibles. The Bible is an excellent book of literature; the Constitution protects the rights of schools to have Bibles in the library and even a curriculum to learn more about the Bible.

Should Blue Springs Elementary School keep the table where parents can put books such as the Bible in the hallway?
