A public school in Kentucky is getting rid of its elective “Bible literacy” course over concerns that it’ll immediately cross over into illegal indoctrination.

The reason Anderson County High School (in Lawrenceburg) was even offering the class is because, in July of 2017, Kentucky passed a bill allowing elective Bible courses in public schools.

Anderson County High has chosen the latter option for the new school year.

Instead of offering a Bible class, they’ll offer an optional “World Religions” class that doesn’t treat Christianity as any different from other major world faiths. (Smart move.)

… Principal Chris Glass and social studies teacher Corey Sayre — who both serve on the school’s eight-member [school-based decision making] council that is made up of parents and teachers — expressed concerns over the “vague” standards for the Bible courses that the Kentucky Board of Education approved last year.

According to The Anderson News, the two also had concerns over the “constitutionality” of the course that was considered after Gov. Matt Bevin signed a bill in 2017 creating regulations for public high schools to offer literature courses on the Bible and Hebrew scriptures.
