Enough for Seconds

Another article about the trend of teaching Bible in school (see previous post here)...an AP article on MSNBC.com titled "More public schools try Bible curriculum":

The long-dormant idea of teaching public school students about the literary and historic importance of the Bible is getting a fresh look this year from state legislatures and local school boards - though with political bickering and questions about what should be included... In a notable 1963 ruling, the [Supreme] court banned ceremonial Bible readings in public schools but allowed "objective" study of the text in a manner divorced from belief.

The article goes on to discuss the two competing curricula: one from the Bible Literacy Project and one from the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools.
