Tenn. public schools can offer Bible courses

Tennessee's attorney general says the state's public schools can offer classes on the Bible as long as the lessons don't endorse a particular religion.The opinion released Tuesday also says a pending legislative bill that would allow the state to create a nonsectarian Bible elective curriculum is constitutional.Four Tennessee counties currently offer such classes as a special course that counts as an elective. Such courses are designed to look at the Bible's impact on literature, art, and politics.The bill's sponsor says he requested the opinion in hopes of gaining support for the idea that academic, nonreligious Bible classes have a place in public classrooms. Neither chamber has taken any action on the bill, which would have to be approved by the state board of education if it passed.
