Virginia School District Moves To Less Controversial Bible Curriculum

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
According to yesterday's Roanoke Times, the Craig County, Virginia, School Board last week voted 5-0 to drop a course called "The Bible in History and Literature" that uses the controversial curriculum developed by the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools. That curriculum has been criticized as promoting particular religious beliefs. The course will be replaced by one using a curriculum titled "The Bible and Its Influence," created by the Bible Literacy Project and which has been endorsed by experts in literature, religion and church-state law. (See prior related posting.) [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
