Wilson Schools Agree to End Gideon Bible Distribution

Here we go again folks.  The Gideons International, whose main purpose is to win men and women, boys and girls to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, by passing out the Word of God, for free, in various venues, has been successfully bullied into having distributions stopped at a school because of one complaint.

Here's the story from WHNT.com.

LEBANON, Tenn. (AP) — Wilson County schools have agreed to end the distribution of Bibles to students during the school day and on school grounds.

The settlement came after the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee threatened to sue on behalf of a fifth-grade student at Carroll-Oakland Elementary School. A Tuesday news release announcing the settlement claims the student took a Bible during a distribution in the school's gym because she feared being ostracized if she did not.

In the settlement, school board members acknowledge that distribution of Bibles to students at school has been recognized as a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
