This will be a tough one to dent since it already has tens of thousands of votes, but I'm sure you can give it a little bump. The Gideons have been getting aggressive and invading high school cafeterias and leaving bibles scattered about, and AOL addresses this invasion of secular schools with a hard-hitting internet poll.
What do you think about the Bibles left on tables inside public schools?
I'm for it
58%I'm against it
28%It doesn't matter
14%Are you Christian?
Yes
75%No
16%It's personal
9%
I wonder how the people voting in favor of giving kids Bibles would feel if it had been Planned Parenthood that crashed the cafeteria to leave pamphlets about birth control?

This is odd. In Australia, school kids can opt-in to take scripture classes, and the kids who opt out get to sit in the school during those hours doing nothing, which seems a bit of a waste. So the schools have a new plan: while the religious kids are off memorizing bible verses, the secular kids…
