Can't read a Bible?

An issue recently came up in my high school, a history teacher (and philosophy professor at a local community college), was told that he had to put away his Bible by the Principal.1) Why is there a ban on a particular philosophy regarding the world, the afterlife, and God?2) Why is there a ban on a certain book?3) Why am I not allowed to bring in religious texts to my High School?I just don't understand why religion has been blacklisted in a place of learning... Philosophy about the world is restricted, are we living in the book 1984 by Orwell?

and we will discuss your PNT

As we discussed in chat, I can probably promote this topic in a week or so. Lets see what feedback you get from some other administrators.I may e-mail you with my personal opinion, but officially I am gonna leave the topic open for feedback and discussion through December 24th. Keep up the good work, CP! You are formatting your topics much better and framing your issues concisely!I DO suggest that you change your Title. Perhaps more along the lines of: Why is the Bible Religion and not Philosophy?This message has been edited by AdminPhat, 12-15-2005 08:34 AM
