Michigan School Board Rejects Bible As Literature Class

After lengthy testimony on both sides of the issue at a Board of Education meeting, the Howell, Michigan Board of Education decided against offering a class on the Bible as literature in its school system. Today's Livingston (MI) Press & Argus reports that the motion to approve the curriculum made by board member Wendy Day died for want of a second. A committee of the social study teachers had decided not to recommend the new course because a world religion course already covers the same areas.
