"Bring Your Quran to School Day"

[Blake]

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WHAS11) -- On Facebook, Kentucky Governor Matt promoted the national effort, 'Bring your Bible to School Day.'

"Use it as a conversation. A conversation with other students," Gov. Bevin announced on his Facebook page.

His endorsement is getting applause and admonishment. The Freedom from Religion Foundation is sounding the alarm on the governor taking a public stand.

"It is wrong for the governor to use his position, his elected position, to assist evangelizing his personal beliefs," said Edwin Hensley.

Hensley is the co-organizer for the Kentucky chapter of the FFRF. He also has an issue with how any talks about religion would be policed on public school property, including those students who don't want to participate.

"If two students want to talk about it, that is perfectly fine. If a Christian starts evangelizing and the other person, whether it's a non-Christian, Christian of a different belief, saying, 'I don't want to talk about this.' Then it should stop," Hensley said.

We received mixed responses on our WHAS11 Facebook page.

Jon Patterson posted, "I believe this or any kind of religion should be taught at home or private schools not in public schools."

Scott Hollenbeck said, 'Students should take a Bible to school every day.”

Governor Bevin suggested bringing a Bible to school is a teaching moment. "If we followed Biblical principles like treating others as you wanted to be treated, living your neighbor like yourself, simple stuff. Now, this is the stuff we should celebrate. I love the idea that young people are bringing Bibles to school," Gov. Bevin said in the Facebook post.

The FFRF released this statement in response to Gov. Bevin encouraging students to take their Bibles to school:

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is admonishing the Kentucky governor for exhorting students to carry*bibles*to class.

In a highly inappropriate*Oct. 3 Facebook video post, Gov. Matt Bevin encourages schoolchildren to bring their bibles to school. The video, which is clearly tagged as “GOVERNOR.KY.GOV,” promoteswww.BringYourBible.org, a scheme pulled together by a national evangelical outfit.

The governor’s video and posting encourage children to “bring your bible” into classes to convert other students to Bevin’s particular brand of religion: Protestant Christianity.

[Chucho]

They should do a whole week and every faith is allowed to bring their Holy Book to school on a specific day.

As long as everyone has equal representation and is treated fairly.

the sad part is you think Christians are the ones treated the most unfairly here.

[Spurminator]

You are currently allowed to bring any holy book you want to school.

More invented Christian oppression.

[Chucho]

By bigots like you, yes.

Hail Satan.

[Chucho]

How so?

Can I make things up and put words in mouths, like you? Or the truth?

[Chucho]

Hail Satan.

Why not? The Feds recognize Satanism as a legit religion.

Truth will work. How are Christians treated unfairly?

I think I want to make things up so you can be correct when you tag people for talking out their asses.

Fine. Just make sure your analogies are accurate.

[Chucho]

"Muh gay wedding cake. They needs to do as their told!"

Atheistic Supremecists treat Christians the way the LOLeft claims all white people treat blacks.

"Muh gay wedding cake. They needs to do as their told!"

They're not forced to make gay cakes or cakes the shape of s. The issue is about refusing service to people on the basis of their sexual orientation

Atheistic Supremecists treat Christians the way the LOLeft claims all white people treat blacks.

Can you give a specific cir stance where this analogy works?

As long as everyone has equal representation and is treated fairly.

For equal representation, if Muslims get one day then Christians should get around 1 1/4 days. Atheists get like an hour or so.

OT but why aren't Atheists more pissed at Scientologists rather than Christians? If I worshiped science I'd be pissed at those ers stealing the name.

I don't think anyone takes scientology seriously. Plus they don't have political pull or impact legislation and the courts.
