To: Kathleen Woodcock (Chair, Waterloo Region District School Board)
We the undersigned request that the Waterloo Region District School Board immediately reverse the recent decision to allow The Gideons of Canada to distribute bibles in our Public Schools.
The public school system is not the place for learning "knowledge of religious feeling" as Trustee Colin Harrington is quoted as saying. **
