A New Jersey third-grader broke down in tears after a teacher told the girl her Bible was not appropriate reading material for a public school. After a public uproar, the principal of the school apologized to Mariah Jordat and told her it was all a misunderstanding.

Michelle Jordat told FOX her daughter loves the Bible and was hurt when the teacher told her to pack away her Bible during quiet reading time. “This was injustice,” she said. “No other child has to go through this again.”
The Old Bridge Board of Education discussed the matter at a meeting Tuesday night, hearing from parents who were outraged over the incident.
The school said the teacher made a mistake and that school policy does allow children to read the Bbile or any other religious book during reading time.

I think that the teacher needs to be reprimanded and she ought to read her BIBLE and learn the bible
That takes away our rights as a free country and our rights. My dad is a preacher and I'm very proud of
my dad, I've learned alot from him. My grandma had this saying "What comes around goes around."
My grandma could quote the bible and any verse in it by heart. She's been gone 9yrs. now and I still
remember all her saying and her knowledge and her wisdom. I miss her and I love her very much.
If we don't have God in our schools then what will we stand for in America . America was based on God and he protects the country and blesses us . Do we want him to take away blessings and give us curses instead . Can anyone tell God that he doesn't exist and not question his own existence . Stop breathing and see how close to God you get and you'll be thankful for that next gasp of air . God says the fool says in his heart there is no God . Do we want to be wise or fools the decision is up to us . God gives us that to take to heart . Your grandma was a wise woman . The people today have not known God and they don't care to know him . Neglect and the busy lifestyle have pushed God to the side and that is a shame upon all of us as a people that claim to know him . Yet he waits upon us to talk to him . To share our feelings and problems with him . If he didn't care he wouldn't have given his only son to pay for our ignorance and stupidity . He loves us inspite of ourselves and shortcomings . He even loves those who hate him . How much more love can he give us ? Everyday he looks upon his hands at the scars from the nails an thinks of us. Can we accept that love ? I question the school systems today and what the liberal attitude is to oppress others and put themselves on a level of superior thinking. Knowledge without wisedom is foolishness . God says knowledge passes away but my words shall not . He gave us his word and he says it shall not come back to him empty . He means what he says and he is no respector of persons . When he returns every knee shall bow and if they refuse to bow then that person will see very quickly what God can do to them . I would not want to be near the fellow that refused . God is love but he also demands respect for his son. The teacher that made a fuss about a sketch of Jesus on a cross will be brought up to answer for that offence to a little child . God's angles see everything a child does and God takes it personally when a child is hurt or abused . Just because God doesn't do something at the time doesn't mean he isn't holding back for a time for things to happen that will repay .
Congratulations, you have NEVER read the Constitution and no NOTHING of our founding. This country was founded by deists, not Christians or Jews, for religious freedom, and haven't you ever heard of "separate church and state"?
this country was founded on the premise of freedom of religion, not freedom from religion btw and the separation of church and state was a letter written by thomas jefferson and was never in the constitution.
I find it very sad that our country won't let children read their bible while the province of Dansk, in the Ukraine has asked our church to send them bibles so that their teachers can give each child a bible as they are going to be studying the bible in their schools. These are public schools. We had a million dollars collection across the country to help in this request. As of the last word we received, only a few schools were still waiting for their bibles. Think about it.
What the teacher didn't realize that there is a difference between a teacher leading in prayer meeting and a student bringing a Bible with her to school to read during quiet reading time. Besides, the first amendment said that there should be no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion. That includes reading a Bible by a student, drawing a picture of Jesus and any other quiet student initiated activity.
What is this country coming too? most collages are putting the Koran on required reading , yet the bible is forbidden in the classroom. this teacher needs to be fired.
