Florida man asks schools to ban the Bible following the state's efforts to remove books

Florida activist known for his tongue-in-cheek petitions to local government agencies has asked school districts in Florida to ban the Bible.

In petitions sent to public school superintendents across the state, Stevens asked the districts to "immediately remove the Bible from the classroom, library, and any instructional material," Stevens wrote in the documents, which were shared with NPR. "Additionally, I also seek the banishment of any book that references the Bible."

(continued, next week the bid to ban arabic numerals cos they appear in the Q'ran - return to Roman numerals is the way forward? )

references, schmenferences. the language for referring to those things is so correct, maybe in a way coded, that you could not get a 14 year old boy to pick up a woody reading the raciest passage (even the Song of Songs, I'm afraid).

I know those are rather nasty, but wouldn't they prefer more meat over absolute tenderness?
