Gideons Banned from Bible Distribution in Grade School

My father was a Gideon. The Gideons are an organization of Christian businessmen who distribute Bibles to those in need around the world. Here in the USA, they place Bibles in hotels, prisons, and other public places. Here in Connecticut, the Gideons do not distribute in public schools, but in other states the policies vary. Now, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Gideons are not allowed to distribute scripture in schools.

For more than three decades, the South Iron School District in Annapolis, 120 miles southwest of St. Louis in the heart of the Bible Belt, allowed representatives of Gideons International to give away Bibles in fifth-grade classrooms.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed suit two years ago on behalf of four sets of parents. In August, a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a temporary injunction against the practice.
The district altered its policy, saying the Gideons and others were still welcome to distribute Bibles or other literature before or after school or during lunch break, but not in classrooms.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry ruled both practices were illegal and granted a permanent injunction.
