CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Is it right to remove bibles from elementary school libraries?

That’s a typo so severe I would argue tne result is not a canonical Bible.
Also ultra liberal editions like Hal Taussig’s A New New Testament or the NRSVue do not pass muster in my view. I had been extremely suspcious of NIV version 3 but my views on it have softened, although the previous version 2 was superior. However ideally Bibles placed in schools should have the Deuterocanonical books so as to not discriminate against Episcopalian, ACNA, Continuing Anglican, Catholic, Assyrian and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox youths. Speaking of the latter, schools should also carry a supplement with the additional books found in the Ethiopian Bible.
I also fully support schools carrying a Hebrew Tanakh (Old Testament) for the benefit of Jewry, but not the Book of Mormon due to its obvious fraudulent origins. Needless to say I don’t expect I could win election to the Utah State Legislature.

Not all of Utah is ultra-Mormon. Salt Lake City is very liberal, and as a whole the state does have several blue districts in its legislature. I can remember a time (pre-1996) when California was a Red State.

I think it really depends on the grade level of the school. Libraries do have a budget and limited space, so books that would be most relevant to that area. What about books like "God is Red" or "Book of the Hopi"?

My main concern would be to advance Christian interests as much as possible, stretching the Establishment Clause to its very limit, to protect Judaism and other ethnoreligious minorities such as the Alevi, Bektasi, Sikhs and Zoroastrians, and of course the Native Americans, while seeking to abolish dangerous cults like Scientology, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christian Science, all three of which have a lethal reputation, and to do all this without enraging Canada to the point where my dream of a North American Schengen Area could no longer be realized.

Indeed, it is a legendary typo.

My only contact with the NRSVue has been on the occasions when I look something up at biblegateway.com because I'm too lazy to walk over and get my print NRSV off the shelf.
That hasn't been enough for me to pick up on differences between the NRSVue and the NRSV. What awful things did they do when they produced the "updated edition"?
