The Holy Bible in Schools

teach bible in schools
America was founded by Christians (some Protestant colonies and others Catholic) seeking religious freedom.  They wanted to practice their belief in the trinity of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit without worry of persecution.  Is Christianity still practiced freely in the USA and will it be so in the future?  If other religions are taught in schools, but Christ is not included, is that unethical as the teaching excludes the Christian religion on which this country was founded?  Education sources can not say ethically and truthfully say belief in freedom of religion while excluding Christianity.  Can students pray in school or bring their Bible to school any day during the year?

"And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way 
wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do." - Exodus 18:20 (KJV)

When formal education began in America, the Bible was the most readily available book.  So schools used the Bible to teach children to read.  Just a few decades ago, the Holy Bible was referenced in history, social studies, and civics classes when students were taught about the colonization of America and the foundation of US laws.  Is this still true today?  Also, the King James Version (KJV) Bible was used in some high school English classes to familiarize students with the "Kings English" before studying classic literature like Shakespeare.  Shouldn't the Bible be taught as part of literature curriculum still? 

"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, 
that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." -
 Romans 15:4 (KJV)

If the Bible was so important for education in the past, why is it being blocked from curriculums now?  Real freedom of religion, understanding of ethics and morals, and reinforcement of US tradition includes teaching the Christian Bible in all schools.  Is the devil and his violence in schools winning over school district leaders or do parents still have a voice to bring respect for other people and belief in God back into the classroom? Is the trend to eliminate the Bible and restricting prayer from school districts fading?  If you want to bring the Bible back to schools, pray about it for your community and keep bringing it up at local school board  and PTA meetings.
