Teaching The Bible May Become A Reality
KENTUCKY...
Three Democratic state senators are pushing a proposal to give public schools in Kentucky the option of teaching the Bible as an elective social studies course. Sen. David Boswell, D-Owensboro, is the primary sponsor of Senate Bill 142. Boswell stressed that the proposed Bible class would be an elective. The state Department of Education would have to come up with regulations to implement the course, and school-based decision-making councils would have to sign off on it, he said.
