Virginia County Will Offer Bible In History Course
Earlier this month, the Craig County, Virginia, School Board approved an elective high school course titled "The Bible in History and Literature." OurValley.org reports on the discussion of the proposal at the May 6 board meeting. Several students attending the meeting supported it, even though in 2005 a similar class was dropped for lack of student interest. Board member Dawna McDowell abstained from voting on the ground that there had not been enough time to inform the community about the proposal.
