Texas Woman Forced to Leave Bus After Reading Bible Out Loud

Tuesday, January 01, 2008

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."

Next thing Lutz knew, the bus had pulled over and she was being escorted into a supervisor’s van, which took the family to church, MyFoxDFW.com reported.

A spokeswoman for The T said even if Lutz had been reading "Moby Dick" or the Pledge of Allegiance, the same outcome would have occurred.
