Gideon Bible Debate
In 2012, the Bluewater District School Board stated its intention to ban the in-school distribution of bibles by Gideons International to students attending schools operated by the board, because the board and its schools are in the publicly funded secular school system. This resulted in the board receiving hate mail and threatening telephone calls. The ban was formalized at the board's meeting on April 17, 2012.

“Like man and wife who nightly keep
Inconsequent debate in sleep
As they dream side by side.”
