-- From "Iowa university hotel removes Bibles after protest from state-church watchdog" by AHN, posted at Gant Daily (Clearfield, PA) 2/19/14
“The concern you raised about the availability of Bibles in the guest rooms of the Memorial Union has been taken under advisement and, effective March 1, 2014, the Bibles will be removed from the Hotel rooms,” said Richard S. Reynolds, director of the union, in a Feb. 13 e-mail response to FFRF’s complaint.
An FFRF member from Iowa saw the Bible while staying in the hotel and complained to the foundation that the book was an unwelcome religious propaganda. The FFRF later told the university that the hotel is part of the Iowa public university system and placing the Bibles in the room constitute a support of one religion over another in violation of the constitutional provision on separation of the church and state.
