Biblical Literacy Courses Proliferate in Public Schools

An article this morning originating from the Dallas Morning News documents the extent to which courses on biblical literacy are finding their way back into public school classroooms across the country. Over 300 school districts in 35 states use material prepared by the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools. Critics are concerned that the courses as actually taught will cross the line from objective study to impermissible proselytizing.
