South Florida student says teacher won't let him read Bible in class
LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. -
Giovanni Rubeo, a fifth-grade student at Park Lakes Elementary School in Lauderdale Lakes, said Monday he wants to be able to read his Bible during free reading period in class.
"The Bible gives you a lot of wisdom, especially the Book of Prophets," Giovanni told WPLG-TV.
Giovanni said his teacher won't let him, even leaving a voicemail for his father.
"I noticed that he has a book -- a religious book -- in the classroom," his teacher said in the voicemail. "He's not permitted to read those books in my classroom."
A letter from the school's principal said he can read his Bible before and after school and during lunch, which the Rubeo family said violates their civil rights.
