If you think the King James version is bad read the original.

Its not much different than the disgusting and vile Koran.

These books corrupt young minds.

Placing Bible, in any or all of its various versions, on the reference shelves of a public school library does not violate either Article I, section 11, or Article IX, section 4.
 
No state currently bans teaching evolution entirely, thank goodness.

As a matter of fact the teaching of evolution is compulsory in publicly funded schools.

All the while the Bible may or may not sit on the reference shelf in the school library.

Ah, well I stand corrected, then. I don’t think it should be in public school libraries.

Unlike the schools in the Middle East and North Africa where kids are brainwashed right from the start.

I mean take a close look at those backward looking countries where religion is meshed into schools and government.

Morality police running the streets in Saudi Arabia looking for anyone who violate any rule layed out by the Koran.

We have faith based schools in America. Are they brain washing people?

Agree.
And yet the far right is all for having the bible in school libraries but god forbid if there is a childrens book there about gay parents or gay relationships.

I fall slightly left of center with my political views, I listen to NPR news on the radio in my car and at home sometimes.

There are days when all they talk about are gays, trans, bathrooms, etc.. They go on and on and on, I mean give it a break.

Give it a break and maybe the right would back off.
