Why are Bibles allowed in government prisons (drug, Christmas, conspiracy)

[Ellen Pitts]

but not in government schools?

[HappyTexan]

Maybe because not too many prisoner's parents complained ?

Where did you get the idea that a child isn't allowed in school with his/her personal bible?

[crbcrbrgv]

Because it's a conspiracy.

Fluoride has taken over our minds, causing some of us to not be able to differentiate between two separate government entities.

Guess who had too much fluoride?

There were several kids who brought bibles to school when I worked in one last. They would read during lunch, or at the bible group after school.

You can hide drug paraphenalia and shives in hollowed out bibles and those items are not allowed in schools.

Are kids and teachers forbbiden to have a Bible on their person and read it in their personal times in American Schools ? I assumed the separation of State and Church only applied to Official Business such a preaching on public property for example ot perhaps even outward symbols ?

I believe everyone should be entitled to their faith be it in prison , the office or school as long as it is not official business and is not part of the official fabric of the institution. Ie prisoners, prison guards , teachers, kids etc... should be allowed to read the Qur'an, Bible, whatever scriptures they so wish in their own private times ( lunchtime or breaks for example in schools).

Any publically funded institution should remain religion neutral in its official capacity .

There is no ban on bringing religious books of your own into schools to read on your own. The OP is contending as fact something that isn't even so.
