School Board Meets About Possible Bible Class (Nashville, Tenn} {stupid xters never learn} |

School Board Meets About Possible Bible Class
Questions surrounded whether the Bible should be used as a primary
textbook for a class in Wilson County high schools Monday night.
The school board heard the proposal Monday night for a Bible history and
literature class. They called the meeting a study session, where the
school board will hear details of the proposed class to learn more about
it.
The board will not vote, but will only get more information about the
proposed class.
Retired engineer Terry Redmon, wants the class approved, in which the
Bible would be the textbook
"The Bible was the first textbook in our educational system, and so to
really be well rounded, well balanced, and well education, you need to
know about the Bible," Redmon said.
Redmon started a group called "reclaiming the land with Christ." The
school board scheduled a one-hour work session for him to explain what
would be involved in the class that would be a high school elective
Redmon said that similar programs were already in place in 37 states, in
1,300 high schools.
"Some people aren't Christians, and this is the land of freedom of
religion. We should be more tolerant," Frank Burger, who opposes the
class, said. "The point is not to ace-out Christianity, or the Bible,
but to be inclusive," Burger said.
Burger wrote a letter urging the school board to teach all religions, or
none at all.
"There is nothing here that would make anyone uncomfortable," Redmon
said.
Redman claimed the course adheres to current law, but it would be a
departure from current courses. He said that no school uses the Bible as
its primary textbook
The earliest time that it could be taught would be next fall, but the
school board hasn't even decided when to vote on the proposal.
The official school board policy of the Wilson County school board
states, "no religious belief shall be promoted by the school system or
it's employees and none shall be belittled."

The morons want to raise little morons like themselves. However if they
must have the course, it should be taught by a secular teacher who would
point out all of the violence, pornography, injustice, illogic, lies,
and supernatural ***** in their Wholly Babble.

Obviously he knows what it means to be "well education"(sic)...

If that were true, nobody would be opposed to it. It's astonishing that anyone
should have to actually -tell- him this.
