They should countersue for harrassment and violation of their own civil rights. The school is not being asked to promote ANY kind of religion, these are notes the kid brings from his own parents to read in his own personal time at school. And that he shares them with his friends is perfectly acceptable unless one of their parents disagrees. He's teaching them about his way of life which SHOULD BE PART OF DIVERSITY!!!! WHY ISN'T CHRISTIANITY EVER PART OF MULTICULTURALISM????!!!!! We need to stop accepting this shit and stop lying down over it. FIGHT BACK!!!!!! Fighting back is the ONLY answer! [/quote] Because the modern definition of muticultural is: Everything except white, everything except Christian, everything except capitalist. And the definition of hate crime is being any of the things listed above and/or heterosexual. [/quote]

School sends sheriff to order child to stop sharing Bible verses
Here’s the back story:
Mrs. Zavala made it a practice of including a Bible verse and encouraging note in her son’s lunch bag. The boy would tell his friends about the note and read them aloud at the lunch table.
It wasn’t long before children asked for copies of the notes and Mrs. Zavala obliged – including a brief note to explain the daily Bible verse.
On April 18 a teacher called Mrs. Zavala and said her son would no longer be able to share the Bible verses because he was “not allowed to share such things while at school.”
Liberty Counsel said the school would only allow the child to distribute the Bible verses outside the school gate – after the bell rang.
They say the teacher told Mrs. Zavala that her son “could no longer read or share Bible verses or stories at lunch” – citing “separation of church and state.”
So, Mr. and Mrs. Zavala complied with the school’s clearly unconstitutional edict.
But on May 9, the school’s principal decided to implement a complete ban on the Bible verse sharing.
Liberty Counsel alleges the boy was ordered to stop handing out notes because “it was against school policy.” The principal told the boy and his father to move to a public sidewalk. They complied with the principal’s demand.
It would be just a few hours later – when the Zavala family heard a knock at their front door.
“The deputy sheriff said he had been sent by the school,” Liberty Counsel attorney Richard Mast told me. “The deputy went on to tell the parents that the school was worried that someone might be offended by the Bible verses.”
