  • In September 2018, Facebook users widely shared a post which proclaimed that President Trump is making Oct 4th bring your Bible to school day. I pray that every school in America is full of Bibles that day: An initiative undertaken by conservative Christian groups in the United States does designate one day of the year as Bring Your Bible to School Day. However, that event was not created by President Donald Trump, nor is it a government-sanctioned one. Bring Your Bible to School Day is an annual event organized by Focus on the Family, an influential conservative Christian non-profit organization. It was first held in 2014 and will take place on 4 October in 2018. The event's website describes the purpose of the initiative as follows: The Alliance Defending Freedom, another conservative Christian non-profit organization, is providing legal consultation for students involved in the initiative. According to a promotional video, almost 500,000 students took part in Bring Your Bible to School Day in 2017: However, neither President Trump nor his administration is behind Bring Your Bible to School Day, and the event is not sponsored or sanctioned by the federal government.
