The FFRF is not Congress making laws to abridge your (Mr Gilbert and the school) freedom of speech.

Are you also reading from the Vedas? The Koran? Philosophers? Scientists? etc etc? If you are just reading from the Bible, you are promoting a single religion/philosophy to a "captive" audience in a public institution...and that's the problem.

But you know that, you disingenuous jerk.

Doncha get the feeling Christians are just pissed that other people live on the planet?
