According to FoxNews:
Some parents in Frisco, Texas, are fuming because their public school district allowed Christian evangelists to provide Bibles to students on school grounds, which administrators say was done to stop even more proselytizing outside the schools.
….Michael Baier, who has a son at Frisco’s Lakeland High School, said that religious groups should not be allowed to offer their teachings on campus.
“If they’re God-fearing Christians … they should be giving those items wherever they worship. School is a place to learn, not a place to worship,” Baier told FOXNews.com.
Lutz said she wants the freedom to raise her children as she sees fit — and without the interference of religious groups. She told FOXNews.com she worried that allowing one group to offer Bibles in the school would open the floodgates to any groups who want to reach students on school grounds.
“It does open the door for other people to have the right to hand out other stuff. And I think that’s not a good door to open.”

A spokeswoman for the school district said that a number of materials are made available to students this way, including newspapers, camp brochures and tutoring pamphlets. College and military recruitment information is available all year long. The Gideon Bibles were made available for just one day.

But for some parents looking for a neutral education in the public school system, that wasn’t enough.
Lutz, whose children go to schools in the district, said she wants the freedom to raise her children as she sees fit — and without the interference of other religious groups.
“I am not atheist — I believe in God,” she told FOXNews.com. “But I just don’t want any religion forced on my child at school. That’s why my child goes to a public school.”
