State senator Kevin Sparks called the district’s Bible ban “misguided” in a 19 December post on Instagram. “The Bible is not educationally unsuitable, sexually explicit, or pervasively vulgar, making its removal legally and morally indefensible. At a time when students seek guidance, the Bible provides a vital moral framework.”

Dad: “Are you learning, son?”

Son: “Dad, I read the bible today in school. What are ‘emissions of donkeys’?”

Dad angrily whips out his ‘Bible Belt’ and commences with Christian Love: “Heathen! You need more church and don’t read that bible! Only listen to the church readings!”
