Students Carry Bibles To Protest Teacher’s Actions

Romans 1:17 NCV The Good News shows how God makes people right with himself—that it begins and ends with faith. As the Scripture says, “But those who are right with God will live by faith.”

The Bible was seen all over the hallways at a Missouri school after a teacher told two students they weren’t allowed to even read their Bibles in the hallway.

Kiela English, 15, a freshman at Potosi High School, was reading the Bible with a friend and discussing a passage when a teacher confronted them and said they had to put the Bible away and stop pushing their religion on people.  The two girls had not been speaking to anyone else about the Bible or its contents.

Kiela’s mother posted on Facebook about the incident and it developed into a call for students to bring their Bibles to school and carry them around as a form of protest showing their rights to have their Bibles in school.

Students say the protest was effective in that not only did they show their dedication to the Scriptures, they also did it in way that did not disrupt the school day or show disrespect to the administration.

Potosi Superintendent Randy Davis said an investigation is ongoing regarding the incident but that he had no problem with the girls bringing their Bibles.

“We have absolutely no problem with our students bringing their Bible,” Davis said.  “We firmly believe in freedom of religion and students practicing their religion.”

  1. My father believes there’s an intelligence power out there that had something to do with the creation of all things but he won’t acknowledge that it was GOD. My mother accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into her heart as her Lord and Savior just 5 days before she drew her last breath and stepped into Heaven She was only 55, the same age I am now. I was told back in my 6th grade we evolved from apes. Even though I wasn’t a Christian at that time I never believed that lie. I could have gotten an A on my report if I accepted their lies. I chose to get a poor grade instead and believe the Truth. Evolution is a THEORY not FACT. The BIG Bang Theory is busted. The EVOLUTION Theory will be next for GOD will have the Last WORD.

  2. Thank God for those children and parents! The world has gone mad! My sister is a teacher, they cannot have ANY Christmas or Christian holiday celebration decorations in their rooms! We have gone totally crazy in these areas! For one thing, when we do have a mix of cultures, I believe it is “OK” for others to share their beliefs, and learn from each other! Also, what is wrong with teaching science and religion along with each other, as options as to what to believe, such as the Big Bang Theory VS The Creation? I remember in our books it stated, “There are some people who believe that God created the earth”! I remember thinking “I thought everyone knew that God was the creator”! What a sad sad world we live in! Sincerely, Kathryn Schneider
