Public schools are legally compulsory with captive audiences. Therefore it is inappropriate and unlawful to use this forum to proselytize ANY religion. Bringing a Bible for purposes other than silent reading is improper, especially if being used to promote positions that fly in the face of tolerance and acceptance of all types of people.
