The Bible is allowed to be taught in public schools for the sake of their understanding of literature and art, but it may not be taught with regard to only a single religion. As with any religion class teachers must remain as objective as possible.

The Bible is not and has never been "banned" from public school in the USA. Selections from the King James Bible are commonly used in teaching of high-school literature. And obviously, any world religion course would be incomplete without some Biblical material. Yes, there are schools that teach world religion, and there are useful and sane ways to teach religion as a sociocultural phenomenon without violating the Establishment Clause of the US Constitution.

Amber Supko In 1963 there started to be some people against the Lord's Prayer in public schools. Stew731 The U. S. Supreme Court issued two bans. One in 1962 and the second in 1963. Both bans were the result of lawsuits against the teaching of religion and religious practices in public schools. Basically stating that organized prayer in schools was a violation of the separation of church and state. It was decided that publicly funded schools were an extension of the state, and that organized prayer or Bible readings were a form of proselytizing. The bans not only banned mandatory prayer in schools but also banned the daily reading of bible passages. The lawsuits were supported by several organizations but the most outspoken supporter for banning prayer in schools came from Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the founder of American Atheists, Inc.
