There is no place for religion in public schools....and I'm sure they don't have the Koran either.
Witchcraft is not a religion but rather a practice and I'm sure they don't have those either.
If you want to read the bible, do it at home.

The bible is available in all school libraries. The statement "took the bible out of school" refers to the decision to eliminate prayer from the classroom, which use to be a requirement in days past. It has nothing to do with removing the book itself. Just the practice of preaching Christianity.

Things that make you go huh? The others you mentioned Are in Fact Religions by definition..if the Bibles go, it is no more than fair to take those out as well. Depending on the state, other religious values are taught as religious study or history. The First Amendment does however allow free Speech, but if Hr Bill 254 passes that is on the fast track currently in Congress nobody will be able to express any religion or beliefs...

You seem to have your facts confused. Any book on the subject of religion is allowed in public schools. Schools can teach ABOUT religion without violating the Constitution.
But schools cannot PREACH (promote or advocate) any religion, whether Christianity or otherwise.
Where did you get the idea that Bibles are not allowed in school libraries?

The Bible is not in public schools because they don't believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Witchery I don't know why they didn't take that out of public schools because it is a religion they even have churches with witch craft. Quaran is not a religion. I wouldn't know much more about the subject because I go to a private shcool, and If you want to read the Bible like BarB said read the KJV because if you don't you'll get confused with the other Bibles. If you dont have KJV go to www.justbible.com

I can't remember a single school I've been to that the Holy Bible was not in the library.
I've attended public schools in Texas (2), Washington, Kansas, California (2), and Oklahoma.
It's a common myth that the Bible has been banned from public schools. It goes right alongside the myth that it is illegal to pray in public school.

The bible was never part of public school, only private religious schools. Withcraft and the Koran were never part of public schools and only available to a limited degree in private schools. Your religion is NOT being persecuted just because others don't practice it and don't want to hear about it in public. If anyone said otherwise they were just trying to scare you.
