Not like they all don't have whatever version of it at home anyway. This won't affect them at all.

Not like they're actually reading it or following it (especially the New Testament), regardless of where they have access to it

True. Still, it's ground won against prosthetization. Harder to jam it down school kids throats if it's not allowed in schools.

They will just pass a new law excluding the bible from the previous law...sadly.

Which, when you are doing shit like this in protest, doesn't matter - you simply keep it out of the library even when the law says it's okay. Them doing this already makes them a target among Christians and is malicious compliance.

Yeah. They did.

"The district reinstated the Bible soon thereafter, as it announced in a statement on 19 December..."

Still, I feel it's a nice little victory.

You still need to pull every punch.

Do kids read the bible for fun? Is it like a game of thrones type of thing where they are just in it for the grotesque violence?
