We the undersigned request that the Waterloo Region District School Board uphold the recent decision to allow The Gideons of Canada to distribute Bibles in our Public Schools.
The public school system is a place for learning "knowledge of religious feeling" as Trustee Colin Harrington is quoted as saying. **

Kathleen Woodcock and the school board think they can just sweep religious freedom under the rug while they ignore parents. I am tired of the board silencing us so keep the pressure on them until they stop this nonsense.

The momentum behind this push is undeniable and it proves that parents are finished with the board trying to scrub our schools of tradition. Kathleen Woodcock and these trustees need to realize they cannot just push us aside because they want to appease a vocal minority.

Keep them in the schools! Kids need to know there are other choices out there. It was a tradition for years and it should stay that way.
My son brought one home years ago and he still has it on his shelf. Good values never hurt anybody!

Totally ridiculous that people are getting upset over this. its just a book. let the kids decide if they want one or not.
