I went to a public school in a small town in the "Bible belt" in the late 50's and never heard a teacher read from the Bible. I'm guessing your teacher just did it on her own and nobody had a problem with it. At the age of 12 or so my mother told me that I had to be "confirmed" in our Lutheran Church. At the time I didn't even know we HAD a church. I had never been there. So, I went to the classes and I really enjoyed them. I read the Bible all the time for the classes. So it doesn't sound like you were scarred for life. Yet now you're one of these folks scared of a mythical teahadi theocracy. And you fear for children being exposed to: ... well known passages like the 23rd Psalm, Proverbs, Jesus' teachings in the Gospels (like the beatitudes), Paul's oration on love (1 Corinthians 13), the 10 commandments, etc? Better for kids to get schooled by Jay Z, Miley Cyrus and Hollyweird.
