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. **

Schools are for learning not for handing out books of faith. It makes a lot of families uncomfortable.

Unbelievable that this is still happening in 2016. Separation of church and state people! Get with the times.

So tired of special treatment for some groups. Stop pushing your beliefs on other peoples children!

Public schools should be neutral. My kids are there for math and science not to be preached at. Keep religion at home where it belongs.

What about the muslim or hindu kids? Or the atheists? This is so disrespectful to everyone who doesnt follow that specific faith.
