Religious Paranoia in Texas

Religious Paranoia in Texas

I am all for the government not proscribing a religion nor promoting one. But to tell religious people that they cannot even posses religious materials in school in ridiculous. What if a Muslim student shows up to school with a prayer rug so that they may observe their religion? would these same officials take it away, throw it in the garbage, and call it "trash"? I doubt it. As long as those same people do not go around proselytizing others, I have no problem with religious materials on campus.

Garbage for THE BOOK!

Officials at the Lynn Lucas Middle School in Willis, Texas, have been served with a lawsuit filed on behalf of three students who allege that one teacher forbade two teens from carrying their Bibles in school while another prohibited a student from using a book cover displaying the Ten Commandments.
