Bible Bill Passes Senate
KENTUCKY....
By a 37-1 vote, the Senate overwhelmingly approved Senate Bill 142 to allow Bible classes to be taught in public schools across Kentucky. Senator Kathy Stein (D-Lexington) cast the only dissenting vote, while questioning the constitutionality of the measure. Under the proposal, sponsored by Senator David Boswell, Bible courses would be offered as electives, meaning students could decide whether to take them.
