Texas Woman Forced to Leave Bus After Reading Bible Out Loud

I understand her desire to read to her kids and teach them but is it a bus the place to do so? I think probably she was doing it so loud that the driver had to stop her? What do you think?

A Texas woman is demanding an apology from her city’s mass transit system after she was booted off a bus for reading the Bible aloud, MyFoxDFW.com reported Monday.

Christine Lutz was on her way to church and reading passages to her children on The T bus when the driver suddenly interrupted her.

"She asked me to stop reading my Bible," Lutz told MyFoxDFW.com. "I said, 'No, I'm reading the Bible, I'm teaching the kids, I'm going to continue.' And I continued."

Well I see nothing wrong with her reading it, but if she did it with a loud tone, then the bus is no place for it. I mean that's like if someone had loud music on the bus, they can't do that as it disturbs others.

The bus driver should of told her to be more quiet, and she should of listened. The bus company will probably apologize though since this lady already got the media's attention and if they refuse to apologize things may not go so well for them unless they have proof that she was disturbing others.

I wonder how the situation would have differed if she had been reading, say, Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn to her kids instead of a Bible?
