Patti's Paganism / Wicca BlogTexas Students Claim Pressure to Take Bibles in SchoolComing close on the heels of a Louisiana case in which judges ruled that it really is in violation of the separation clause to offer public school students Bibles, a group of teens in Plano, Texas, say that they were unfairly pressured and taunted into picking up a Bible in (you guessed it) their public school. District officials allowed the Gideons International to fill and unstaffed table with Bibles in the school hallway, and several Jewish students said they were teased about not taking the Bibles.
