Bible unwelcome at Show and Tell

What happens if the teacher tells a child to bring their favorite book to "show and tell", and it is the Bible. According to the Pennsylvania court, he has to leave it at home.
A kindergartner's mother cannot read Scripture during show and tell, even if the Bible is the boy's favorite book, a U.S. appeals court said Monday.

The Marple Newtown School District in suburban Philadelphia told plaintiff Donna Kay Busch in October 2004 that she could not read the Bible passages during her son's "All About Me" program. The school did permit the boy to discuss a poster that included references to his church as well as his family, pet and best friend.
