Alabama school denies handing out Bibles to students

A public Alabama school has been in the cross-hairs of a potential ACLU lawsuit which claims the school violated the First Amendment when teachers handed out Bibles to students. The school district’s Superintendent, Barry Carroll, is speaking out about the claims, citing them as “inaccurate or false.” The ACLU was apparently notified by the parents of a few students. How they found out is still uncertain; whether the children came home with the Bibles or not. The parents claim the children took a copy of the Bible out of pressure to please their teachers and to fit in.

This isn’t the first time the elementary school has been targeted by the ACLU. They also accuse a fifth grade teacher, Jody Brown, of refusing to teach evolution and instead referring her students to the beliefs of creationism.
