An Oklahoma public school has stopped giving free Bibles to students who request them after an anti-religion group threatened a lawsuit.

The virulent anti-religion group American Humanist Association (AHA) sent a complaint to Duncan Public Schools over the distribution of the Bibles.  The legal counsel for the schools replied to the humanist group that the Bible distribution would be stopped because of their complaint.

“All teachers and administrators in the district are being advised that they are not permitted to distribute Bibles or other religious materials to students in class or during class time,” wrote Scott W. Stone.

“Teachers and administrators in the district are being advised that they should not attempt to persuade students to take Bibles or other religious materials during class time.”

This is the second time the school has been threatened by the AHA.  A third-grade teacher drew the ire of the group when she offered Gideon bibles to her students if they wanted to take one.
