Bibles to be removed from hotel rooms at ISU Union

Rooms at Iowa State University’s Hotel Memorial Union will no longer contain Gideon Bibles, after a guest complained to a watchdog group about “unwelcome religious propaganda in the bedside table.”

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a national group with around 150 Iowa members, wrote a letter Jan. 29 to Richard S. Reynolds, director of the union, requesting removal of the Bibles.

Reynolds responded to the letter Thursday, notifying the organization that the Bibles would be removed by March 1. Full Article.
