This story is from the Alliance Defense Fund:

“a parent [was] barred from reading the Bible in her child’s classroom as part of a school assignment where parents were invited to read their child’s favorite book.  The child, a kindergarten student, asked his mother to read from the Bible as part of a Social Studies assignment that had no content restrictions.  On May 31, a federal district court sided with the school, and the case is now on appeal.”

And

“the teacher permitted another parent to discuss the Jewish religious holidays of Passover and Hanukkah with the class.  In place of the Bible, Wesley’s teacher suggested that Mrs. Busch read a book “about witches and Halloween” to the class.”
