WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of a kindergartner's mother who wasn't allowed to read Scripture during show and tell, even though the Bible is her son's favorite book.
The Marple Newtown School District in suburban Philadelphia told plaintiff Donna Kay Busch in 2004 that she could not read Bible passages during the class's "All About Me" program.
Busch argued that the class heard stories related to Passover, Christmas and other religious holidays, but lower courts ruled there was a "significant difference" between that and reading Scripture.
The school did let the boy discuss a poster that included references to his church, family and pets.
