They can't make unreasonable demands and expect people to abide by them, just because they feel uncomfortable with it. Their act is senseless and very wrong. Haba, how can an individual be deprived from going to school for such flimpsy excuse? Not that he took a gun to school.

optimusprime2: why is the bible the most persecuted book on Earth
since I was born, I have never heard anyone persecuted in any way for reading the Quaran or any other spiritual book....
But why?

Mynd44:
His own time, yes. But school regulations........

No one asked you not to be Christian, they just don't want religious stuff in school.

macof:

When I was in school, they said I couldn't keep my Afro hair..I was stubborn and got suspended.

If that could happen to me, the boy should face the punishment
not that I took a gun to school either

ewizard1:

Please re-read the Bolded and note the bracketed. Now tell me why the boy shouldn't have read the Bible when he gets home where he would even get more backup from parents. He should have read the Bible in his Mind. I guess the school would have no problem with that.

sameer1212: oga yes may be u r rite to some extend,bt comon, dos folks dont entatain any reliion fanatism n extreamism . infct dey will even start suspecting n disociate demselfs wit u. i hv oportune to study wit dem in dere country n trust me i am tlking frm experience.

striktlymi:

It really is no body's business where an individual chooses to read the Bible. Bottom line here is that he wasn't using it to disturb or harm anyone. There is even no evidence to show that it was a source of distraction for him in school.

striktlymi:

The boy did not demonstrate any trait of a fanatic. Looking at it closely, we can draw a conclusion that the school authorities are the ones demonstrating some bit of fanaticism.

Ugojames:
The logic is simple ur not allowed to practice religion in school
Cos there are many different religions out there, one can even create a new one that could consider killing of people a right of passage.
Best is to keep it at bay and the student can practice it at home.

catso: I can see this action as the beginning of the end.

frosbel:

Stop talking like someone who has no education.

The school had rules for ALL and if they allowed this rule to be broken , all other religions would have followed suit.

The bible says there should be order in God's house not disorder.

I believe his parents encouraged him to read the bible to start trouble, that's how American Militant Christians behave, no tolerance for anyone except themselves and that's why they support the racist tea party.

SMH

sameer1212: dont tink so bro, dose white folks alwys hv dere rules n regulations, dere r nt like us naijerian dat compromise. dey dont compromise in any circumstance. so to me, is still a simple tin, d boy shld hv abide by d rules simple.

striktlymi:

Mr educated, can you stop quoting this dude that seem uneducated?

Thank you!

striktlymi:

Rules that negate the fundamental rights of others are not meant to be made in the first place.

Eatosam:

No correlation. Let's leave out biases. We know the damage the gun can do. Can the bible do the same?

Weah96:

I know how it works, and that's why Judaism and Islam have no photos of their deities. Muslims kill anyone who dares to sketch a portrait of Allah or Mohammed. Christians hold that image of the handsome white male in their consciousness as the supreme Lord. Of course, you don't think that you're worshipping a white man, but the awareness of his racial identity never escapes your consciousness. Look up Pavlov and the dog on Google. Animals can be conditioned and imprinted in many deceptive ways.

aminho: if it is in a muslim country hell would have been boiling evry agbero will be insulting them but since its the almighty US OF A its not a big deal i weep for nigerians

Olekumaster: what if the boy had been reading ponographic magazines?

tecmon: The spirit of the anti-Christ is recruiting fighters from the mid-east terrorists to gay activists in the west, BH in Nigeria or this demonised school authority, it is the same satanic spirit, location not withstanding. It is a sign of the end time the Great Apostacy before their master Lucifer shows himself openly in flesh in the political hot seat

all4naija: You primitive man!

KillerBeauty: America is a country that put God in everything they do. In their currency its boldly written "In God we trust" even in their constitution. Obama always end his statement by saying God bless American. If there is God mentioned in their constitution why do they now forbid it in schools. If d president can mention God publicly why then is a child punished from saying it.

Americans are all hypocrite

Nobleval: Why do you like cursing and insulting people? You've got followers you know? Half of your posts are all insults or curses. It's not good.

mstik: I thought there was freedom of religion in the US

all4naija: Calling people primitive is not a curse. It is clear I am helping them to see that it is not a good thing to be in the modern world. You are taking it out of context.
