∙ 7y agoAnother answer from our community:
Bibles are banned or forced out of US public schools based upon The supreme courts definition of separation of church and state, and the efforts of believers in other doctrine who have used that Supreme Court judgment as a means of implementing a complete ban on anything Christian as defined by their mentors.
ANOTHER ANSWER:
The agendas of the public schools are decided by those chosen and/or appointed officials [whoever they may be] in charge of the criteria they think is important. Their determination is often further affected by local, state, and federal government programs that offer influence under the guise of funding [monies that keep their school systems afloat].
Using or not using the Bible in public schools is therefore just part of the inherent conflict among all the other agendas through which the school leaders must wade.

∙ 9y agoReligious beliefs cannot and should not be imposed on students by the government. Church and state should never mix. The Bible is not "rejected" in public schools, it simply is not taught from since it is a religious book.
Additional Comments:
It's a bit ironic that stella schools like Harvard and Yale began as seminary teaching schools. The Bible as noted above is not rejected in schools at any level. In Colleges/Universities, the Bible is a regular subject to be taken as desired.

∙ 7y agoBibles are not banned in United States public schools. The U.S. Supreme Court stated that the Bible may constitutionally be used in an appropriate study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, or the like. What is not generally permitted in public schools is the teaching of Christian religion, based on the Bible or otherwise.

How many US public schools teach the Bible?
A:Some public schools may well teach about the Bible in Comparative Religion studies, in conjunction with the holy books of other religion, or perhaps refer to it in Ancient History. Presumably, no United States public school would teach the Bible itself, because to do so contrary to the law would demonstrate Christianity as being opposed to the principles of good government and morality.

Since the start of the colonies public schools have been a feature of the American educational system. It has provided for children of all walks of life and living conditions.

What is the difference between public school and a charter school?
Charter schools are public schools. Traditional public schools cover standard curriculum and educational practices. Charter schools typically specialize in one form of instructional theory, curriculum, or other educational practice. Charter school attendance is limited to size (where public school attendance is not so much so limited), so once that limit is reached, some students may be added to a waiting list. Some people have the impression that charter schools are private schools. Not so. The "charter" in the name refers to the private or public institution that sponsors the school. In most states, it is necessary for that sponsorship to be "chartered" through an approved state university.
