Controversy over Elective Bible Classes

The Texas State Board of Education has approved elective Bible classes in public high schools.  According to the Constitution’s principle of separation of church and state, these classes must be taught while “maintaining religious neutrality and accommodating the diverse religious views, traditions, and perspectives of students in their school district.”

Proponents say the constitutional guidelines are clear enough and that the classes will focus on biblical content and its context in modern society, including culture, art and public policy.

Critics (who are given a lot of space in the AP article) claim the guidelines are too vague and that in reality most Bible classes currently given in public schools are slanted in some way.

    Christianity is evil according to Al Gore and the Green movement.
    The green movement is based on Gaia the pagan earth goddess.
    That is why McGuinty tried to remove the Lord’s prayer from the Ont. legislature. It is also the reason for the attempt to remove God from the national anthem.

    One world govt. requires a one world religion.

    The churches have been led to believe the green movement is godly, it’s exactly the opposite.

    Canadians need to wake up and wake up fast.

    Please read The Green Agenda found on the page bar of my blog.
    It is the best I have found on the subject.
    Read the words of the men that would rule the world and remove the Christian faith.
    Please-read The Green Agenda.
