Yes! The Bible was a huge part of education in the 1600s and the 1700s. The main reason they wanted all children to be able to read was so they could read the Bible.

How could thay take the Bible out of the schools when the Constitution was written from the Bible?

They didn't.What was taken out of the schools as a result of the 1962 Engel v. Vitale Supreme Court decision was involuntary prayer, and what was taken out of schools as a result of the 1963 Abington Township School District v. Schempp decision was involuntary Bible reading. But the Bible itself is still available in most school libraries for anyone who wishes to read it.The Bible is not relevant to the teaching of academic subjects such as mathematics and science, so it is quite properly not part of the curriculum in those classes. To the extent that the Bible is relevant to a subject -- such as, for instance, in the teaching of literature -- it can be used in classes.While many of the people involved in American history have been Christians, the Bible was not used as a reference or guide in the writing of the US constitution. Therefore there is little point (other than attempting to instill sectarian beliefs) in using the Bible in such classes.

Who was the first person to use the bible?

Good question, but I don't know if you mean the whole Bible, or just any part of the Bible. Or it could be the Whole Old testament. If it is who used any part of the Bible, I would say Moses. He used the 10 commandments; they are part of the Bible. Someone else may have a better answer.

Why can't you read a bible in schools but you can in prisons?

The only restriction to 'read the Bible' in public schools is during class time to teach it's religious content. Religion can't be taught in public school. Anyone may read the Bible in school at a time and place that would be appropriate for any other non-curriculum material, for example comics, magazines, non school related books, etc. Private schools have their own rules on material that can be read in class. Private schools can include the Bible as part of the curriculum because the parents have selected that school and its curriculum for their child to attend. Reading the Bible, the Qu'ran, or any other religious text in prison is permitted because the prison is not teaching the religion; inmates choose this reading material or attendance at religious meeting of their own volition.
