I agree with the pro-Bible-readers. The U.S. Constitution only disallows favoring
one religion over another; it was never the intent of its authors to ban religion
entirely.
As a librarian in a religious school, I am warned about using government funds for
the acquisition of sectarian materials, a ruling I am careful to follow.

> We have a Bible Lit class at our school. Several of the students in the

> I have my thoughts on this as well as information that I have on file
