In 2004 Donna Busch visited her son’s kindergarten class in Newtown Square, PA. Busch’s son, Wesley, was the featured student for the school’s “All About Me” activity, during which a parent is permitted to read from their child’s favorite book.

Unless, of course, that book happens to be the bible. When Wesley’s teacher saw that his mother intended to read Psalm 118 from the bible, she made her stop and went to ask the principal if that was acceptable. Principal Thomas Cook informed Busch that reading from the bible in public school was against the law and he did not allow her to read the Psalm.

Since it was October, she was invited to read to the children from a book about witches, witchcraft and Halloween, which she declined to do.

In the years since that day a U.S. District Court and Court of Appeals have upheld the school officials’ decision. On January 19, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case, allowing the decisions by the lower courts to ban bible reading to stand.

“If these acts of censorship and discrimination are allowed to continue, there will be absolutely no freedom for religious people in public schools in this country.” -John W. Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute
