Why is this for one day only? Is distribution of Christian materials also restricted to one day only?
I also don't get this:
"School district officials say their policy is to allow all non violent secular materials inside the schools, alongside the Bible."
This implies that all non-Bible religious literature (being neither secular nor the Bible) is forbidden. Is that really the school district's policy? To give special privilege to one religion over all others? Or is this perhaps just misstated in the article?

Pamphlets about belief systems should not be handed out in schools, but since the district decided to allow one religion to do so, they have to let anyone and anything be handed out. maybe schools should stick to science, math, reading, history, etc

Death threats; how Christian-like. Also I feel this reporting is poor as the author seems to equivocate atheism with Satanism. Atheism is the rejection of god claims, all god claims including Satanism, due to a lack of evidence.

If Christian materials are allowed, then Satanist and atheist materials should be allowed too. Personally, I don't know why Christians were allowed to put their materials in schools in the first place, but if one religion gets access, so should every other religion.
