UPDATE::Broward schools’ Runcie says Bible controversy ‘should’ve been handled differently’ - Schools - MiamiHerald.com

Did the teacher misbehave? An obvious yes. Did the school/school district misbehave? It definitely could have been handled a bit better.. But, is this an egregious example of Christian persecution? No!!

In Broward, the Liberty Institute’s attorneys had threatened legal action against the school system unless it publicly apologized and allowed for the Bible to be read during “free reading” periods.

With Runcie’s public apology — and the district’s insistence that the Bible had all along been acceptable during “free reading” — those conditions appear to have been met.

The story should have ended right there. The Liberty Institute placed demands upon the school which they met. Corrections have been made. BUT,,,

Now it appears the Liberty Institute has demanded even more of the school,

But in a letter e-mailed to the school district on Tuesday, Liberty Institute director of litigation Hiram Sasser demanded assurances that Giovanni be allowed to read his Bible during “accelerated reading program” class periods as well.

“If we do not receive a satisfactory response, we will proceed with the appropriate legal steps up to and including litigation,” Sasser wrote.

So when exactly is this kid supposed to do his actual school work?  Give an inch they demand a mile!!
