Alabama Teachers' Union Promotes Appropriate Teaching About Religion

The Tuscaloosa News yesterday reported that the Alabama Education Association is distributing two booklets on dealing with religion in the public schools to 50,000 teachers around the state. The 16-page The Bible and Public Schools and the 20-page A Teacher's Guide to Religion in Public Schools were compiled by the First Amendment Center. The booklets give guidance to people of faith on how to take an academic, rather than a devotional, approach to religion.
