The wife of a local state senator asked the Jackson County Board of Education Monday night to support a Bible class being added the system’s curriculum.
Suzanne Hudgens, wife of state Sen. Ralph Hudgens, continued her campaign to have schools begin a history and literature class about the Bible. The class is allowed under a recent law adopted by the state legislature. She had earlier approached the Jefferson City School System with the same request.
No action was taken on her request Monday night.
Hudgens proposed that the elective class would utilize a student’s personal Bible and would not require any other text except the teaching manual.
According to Hudgens, the total cost of materials for the class would be under $200. Besides the low cost of the text materials, Hudgens also said that the class could be taught by anyone, not just a Bible scholar since the teaching manual and book provide all the information for the class.
people! It's bad enough that we have filled our schools with
a bunch of liberals to cloud our childrens minds with a bunch
of idealistic crap. No we are going to assume that anyone is
qualified to talk about religion. And how do you test or grade
anything. It is all opinion and open for interpretation.
Some people should find better things to do with their lives, maybe
get out in the real world and do some good for other people.
In my college, we had to take a class on western religions that was taught by a catholic priest where had an overview of the different western religions not their personal view. That might be more appropriate.
In closing, teachers need to be spending more time teach math, reading, history, and writing not religion that is the job of the church. If you want bible study, pick a church that you agree with and attend.
