Parent Can't Read Bible to Son's Public School Class
The Legal Intelligencer

In battles over prayer in school, the cutting-edge cases are coming from
kindergarten classes. In one such case, the 3rd Circuit rejected the First
Amendment claims of a student's mother who sued after not being allowed to
read verses from the Bible -- which she said was her son's favorite book --
during an "All About Me" program. Writing for the court, Chief Judge Anthony
J. Scirica said parents "may reasonably expect their children will not
become captive audiences to an adult's reading of religious texts."

Ben Franklin observed that truth wins a fair fight -- which is why we have
evidence rules in U.S. courts.
