Dear Friend
A program is underway to serve the public through educational efforts concerning a First Amendment right and religious freedom issue. This is to bring a state certified Bible course (elective) into the public high schools nationwide.
The curriculum for the program shows a concern to convey the content of the Bible as compared to literature and history. The program is concerned with education rather than indoctrination of students. The central approach of the class is simply to study the Bible as a foundation document of society, and that approach is altogether appropriate in a comprehensive program of secular education.
The world is watching to see if we will be motivated to impact our culture, to deal with the moral crises in our society, and reclaim our families and children.
Please help us to restore our religious and civil liberties in this nation.

Elizabeth Ridenour
President NCBCPS
To date, our Bible curriculum has been voted into 462 school districts (over 1,900 high schools) in 38 states. Over 210,000 students have already taken this course nationwide, on the high school campus, during school hours, for credit.

War rages over accuracy of Bible curriculum - from WorldNet Daily (re: Bible Literacy Project) |
 BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS War rages over accuracy of Bible curriculum! $50 text says 'God's help comes with strings' Posted: April 10, 2008 11:55 pm Eastern
By Bob Unruh © 2008 WorldNetDaily A war has erupted over teaching the Bible in public schools across the United States, not whether to teach it but how it should be taught: by using the Bible itself or whether it should be accompanied by a committee-written text that costs $50 each that teaches "God's help comes with strings attached." The issue is raging now before the state Legislature in Tennessee as well as in other states, where officials have begun joining the move towards teaching more about religion, especially Christianity, although trying to remain constitutional by not teaching students to be religious. The Tennessee situation was addressed recently by state Sen. Scott Beason of Alabama, whose own lawmaking body rejected a suggestion to use in that state a course such as the Bible Literacy Project's "The Bible and its Influence." That work has been suggested for public school students by Democrats in several states already. To read the complete article, please visit: World Net Daily |
