ACLU vs Tangipahoa School Board, part 89,452,922
When I read the article title, Judge orders La. school district to stop Bible giveaways, I just knew it had to be Tangipahoa. Of course, they do not dissapoint. It seems that they supporting the passing out of Bibles. It seems that they are wrong, yet again.
This leads me to two sets of questions.
A) Would the Tangipahoa school board allow for Hebrew Bibles to be passed out? What about the Koran? Could a muslim group pass out the Koran to students? If the school had no “religious purpose” in distributing Christian bibles, you would think they would have no problem with other religious texts being passed out. I think we all know the answer to that question and it would be a resounding “no”. Why? Because it is obvious that the Tangipahoa School Board has the intent to try and push Christianity on their students.
But the more interesting question would have to be…
B) Isn’t it sad that the board in charge of helping children of Tangipahoa Parish learn has shown that they are absolutely incapable of learning for themselves? I mean seriously, how many times do they have to attempt to promote Christianity in their public schools before they realize that YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT!

The ruling class of Tangipahoa have never been particularly constrained by laws. Just google “Bloody Tangipahoa” and you’ll get a lot of links to lawlessness, including Joseph Baiamonte’s book with a chapter bearing that title.
Old habits die hard.
