I disagree...

This week saw the Government begin to send every state school in England a copy of the Authorised King James Version bible. This is to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the KJV Bible. Education secretary, Michael Gove said that "Every school pupil should have the opportunity to learn about this book and the impact it has had on our history, language, literature and democracy." The costs of £370,000 have been met by charities and philanthropists and the initiative has even won the support of arch-atheist, Richard Dawkins.

I think this is an error of judgement, very short sighted and I disagree.

Some people are atheist
Not everyone is Christian
One bible per school is restrictive
The text is available on the internet anyway
Some schools may not even need or want a bible
This money could have been much better spent on other things

I believe that this is, as Terry Sanderson states, "a proselytising opportunity" rather than something to benefit schools. It has been employed to appease those Christians who've been feeling a little unloved lately with same sex marriage under consideration and the ruling against town hall prayers recently.
