Question: Can I read my Bible in school to my self in class?

Answer: The work that students do in class is subject to the control of the teacher. However, if a teacher gives no guidelines on what students may select to read during a free reading period, a student may read the Bible or any other religious literature.

It shouldn't matter what you read in school as long as it school appropriate and it doesn't offend anyone. Also that you are not reading it while the teacher is teaching just becasue the teacher doesn't belive doesn't give them the right to take their Bible away for them it is their right to read it if they want to at school. they caneven start talk about him at school and the teachers can't do anything about it because it is their freedom of speech that they are expressing. The teachers should be able to talk about it at school because if we are able to then they should.
