School Board allows Bibles to be handed out in Wilmington HS
School Board Votes To Allow Bibles To Be Handed Out

POSTED: 8:25 am EDT April 5, 2006

WILMINGTON, N.C. -- The Brunswick County school board has voted to allow Bibles and other religious material to be given out in high schools on a limited basis.

<snip>
The policy requires a second vote to be approved. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom From Religion Foundation has been scrutinizing the policy.

1. hmmmmmm.........
"Under the plan, approved on a 3-2 vote, people of all faiths would be able to set out literature in designated places outside classrooms or assemblies one day a year.

Books and literature that defames a person's faith, race or ethnicity would be banned. And, school system employees would not participate."

I wonder if they would really tolerate The Quran, or something from Wiccans or other Pagan religions, Buddhism? How about Satanism? That's a religion, too. T

2. They better have copies of Hubbard's Dianetics available.
And how about Darwin? They keep saying that the Origin of Species is the secularists' bible. Are they going to provide it free as well?

3. Scientology
is the NEW Dianetics. L.Ron bankrupted the Dianetics model so he had to come up with a new one. More control. More money. Targeting richer people with a wider sphere of influence. et voila - "movie stars".....

I bet this would be a big hit.
