Gideons Hand Out Bibles In Colorado Schools

Yesterday's Vail (Colorado) Daily reports that for the second year in Summit County, Colorado, the Gideons were permitted to distribute Bibles inside school buildings. Superintendent Millie Hamner said attorneys advised that if the Gideons were excluded, other outside groups such as Rotarians who hand out dictionaries and college recruiters who distribute college information would need to be excluded as well. Before this, Gideons had been restricted to the streets outside the schools.
