Ballot measure touts Bibles for schools |
The other night I posted an article about some idiot wanting the 10Cs
in all Georgia courtrooms. This is a little closer to home. Too close.
Yes, we have fundymaniacs in the Golden State too.

Ballot measure touts Bibles for schools
February 5, 2004
SACRAMENTO Bibles would be given to every public school student in
California, unless parents object, under a proposed ballot measure.
Matt McLaughlin, a Huntington Beach attorney, recently began collecting
the required 598,105 signatures for the ballot initiative. It would
amend the state constitution to allow use of the King James Version as a
literature textbook, without devotional or denominational purpose, in
elementary, middle and high schools.
McLaughlin said the Bible is literature and many believe that an
educated person needs to be "biblically literate." He said the measure
addresses concerns over church-state separation.

He's correct. Aren't most atheists "biblically literate"?
