Hint: You hand out bibles in Church (or Motel 6's). You hand out math and reading and history books in school.

I'm all for an education ABOUT religion. Back in the old day (the seventies), we learned all about how religion impacted our nation's development, and we learned about other religions, too. But we learned it through instructional texts, not religious dogma.

PUBLIC schools are simply no place to be promoting any religion, period. Promote Science, history, mathematics, literature (which has quite a few religious possibilities, too), but it is simply WRONG to use one penny of our tax dollars (teachers salaries, facilities costs, etc) for the promotion of religion. How handing out bibles could be construed as anything else is beyond me!
