Focus on the Family, a conservative Christian group, is calling on public school students to express their religious freedom by taking their Bibles to class Oct. 8. About 8,000 students participated in last year’s inaugural “Bring Your Bible to School Day,” spokeswoman Candi Cushman said.

Students have the right to read religious scriptures at public school, the American Civil Liberties Union says. Public schools may also teach religion, as long as teachers do not proselytize.

Since FotF is a Louisiana based organization, it’ll be interesting to see what Gov. Bobby Jindal does. This could be an issue that his presidential campaign can use for some desperately needed attention.
