Tennessee School To Reconsider Distribution Of Gideon Bibles

The Lebanon Tennessee Special School District is considering whether to end a long-time practice of permitting the Gideons to drop off Bibles on display tables in the schools once each year for interested fifth graders to take home. The Tennessean reports that the board decided to re-examine its policy after a parent complained that the practice takes away from parents the decision as to what religious literature their children should receive.
