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?
