American Humanist Association complains about Gideons giving out Bibles in NW Rankin school

Mississippi school aided Bible giveaway, atheist group claims

JACKSON, Miss. – An atheist group says it objects to a Mississippi principal telling fifth-grade teachers to take students through a public school lobby where Gideons were handing out Bibles.

The American Humanist Association sent a letter of complaint Tuesday to Kara Killough, principal of Northwest Rankin Elementary School in Rankin County near Jackson.

The association says the school violated the First Amendment ban on government establishment of religion by making it easy for Gideons to hand out Bibles on campus last Friday.
