Sure you can legally teach the Bible in public schools — as literature, as an aid to history, as a means of understanding all manner of things, as a means of understanding one of the world’s religions. But use clergy, or untrained teachers, to teach it as truth? That’s the rub. I don’t trust many schools to do it properly in Arkansas and this LA Times story finds that’s the problem in many other places, particularly, surprise, Texas.
