In reply to the discussion: Florida Schools Surrender To Satanic Temple, Tells Bible Thumpers To Take Their Bibles And Go Home [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,690 posts)Every kid, even if not from a religious home, has grown up in a "Christian Nation". This means seeing prayers in schools, at sporting events, political events. As well as Bible quotes used by public figures etc.. The organizers know full well that despite many of the Christian right crying "persecution!", it is the dominant religion and anyone can easily get their hands on Bibles and many other Christian material that supports that belief system.
But it is way more difficult, and discouraged by most of their parents, as well as the generally cowed public, to find, attain, and read any books or pamphlets that are aesthetic or anti-Christianity.
So basically, the organizers weighed on the importance of handing out Bibles, which are highly available anywhere, and then also having to allow any dissenting publications which would expose the students to material they would never have seen otherwise (and may just expand corrupt their little minds)....or just cancelling the whole thing to shut those dissenting publications out to never see the light of day.
