Canada: humanist attempts to force Gideons out of schools

Written by Super User 07 Sep 2012

A humanist in Canada is seeking to stop the Gideons from distributing free copies of the Bible in schools. Rene Chouinard says it is biased for the Bible to be distributed but not free atheist literature. He offered some free atheist material to schools, hoping that it would result in ending the Bible distribution. He said it was not his intention to hand out truckloads of literature, he just wanted to force the school board to ‘show its hand.’ His campaign began in 2010. Now, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has agreed to hear his case. Mr Chouinard welcomed the decision, saying: ‘We would like to see religion completely removed from the classroom.’

Pray: that God’s Word will not be halted and that the Gideon's work will instead flourish. (Mk.13:31)
