Because we live in a ultra-high sensitive society that is so afraid of offending everyone that we have forgotten we became a country by offending everyone!
Seperation of church and state was never intended to prevent kids from reading the bible (any faiths) it was to prevent the government for forcing yours and my children from learning from just one bible.
Blame the right-wing for everything else, but this is a left-wing use of that "seperation" to scare schools from teaching anything that may give children an opinion.
Take the pledge of allegiance, I recited it as non-christain in school, I never thought of the "under god" as Suzy's god or Jake's god, I thought of just god (a god). It was the pledge to my country that was more important anyway.

A kid can read a Bible in school on their own time. In prison, reading is done on a prisoners own time. The point isn't to keep them from reading the Bible, just to avoid making them read the Bible.

There's children in prison? Kidding. School is very touchy about religions, not everyone is Christian or Catholic and I guess they just want to separate religion from education. Prison is prison, they can read on their own time like your child can read their Bible at home and worry about school work at school.

Because our society is so messed up. The rights of 2 or 3 outweight the rights of 100.
I love the question you posted. Would love to have that on a t-shirt but then I would probably be sued by some ******. lol

if you want your kid to read the bible in school, pony up the cash to send them to a privet, christian school. other wise in a public education there is no room for religion period. and as far as being able to read a bible in jail, well lets just think that one trough. a student attends class for what, 7 hours a day? 7 hours out of 24. 35 hours out of 168. 133 hour a week to do ...... whatever, play ball, perform in a play, go to church, go to bible study, what ever. a kid in jail spends 168 out of 168 hours in jail. that's it. of coarse that kid gets a bible because he still has his/her constitutional rights to freedom of speech and religion. and since they can't leave to practice their religion of choice, then they have a right to worship as the see fit in jail. however, when juveniles are put into classrooms on jail properties, take a wild guess where their bibles are, in their cells.

Because we live in a very wicked society and people call "good" bad and "bad" good.
Why do we wait to correct our "children" in the electric chair and not start in the high chair?

because someone had it banned from schools. I think that's pretty stupid. If a kid wants to read their bible, then let them. they aren't violating anyone's rights by doing so.
