Stupid Facebook RW meme of the day: Public schools ban bibles, but prisons don't!

[alp227]

Has anyone else seen this?

Accompanied with the caption "Had to share this. A dear friend, former prison Chaplain, sent this to me. I'll never forget ministering with him in Louisiana! It is so unbelievable that this isn't recognized by more in the culture."



I made two comments on my friend's posting:

"At schools, teachers can't preach any religion to the students, but students are allowed to bring a bible to school and read during recess/non class time if they wish. Just like how prisoners may choose whichever religious literature they want.

"The Supreme Court has consistently ruled against teacher-led prayer in schools since 1962 (Engel v. Vitale), but student-led prayer has always been legal."

Private prisons need a steady influx of new slave labor.

4. Schools don't fucking ban bibles. Geez louise. Stupid people should not be allowed internet.

I'm tired of these brainless, memes built for idiots.
