So, I read everyone's comments, and for me, it gets back to the fact that I don't want my child's information given to strangers even just to pray for her. I was Catholic in my youth, and with everything that has happened in my area, i just have a hard time trusting intent. I know most are good, but I would still rather not share personal information with strangers, no matter ow well meaning.
I also do object to a holy book being handed out in a secular setting, especially a mandatory secular setting like school. Honestly, it is easy to get a Bible if you want one, I really don't see the point of handing them out. it creates unneeded controversy and waste. Maybe it is different where you are.
In my area, i can only imagine the uproar if it were another religious text.
