New state law allows credit for off-campus Bible education

Now South Carolina has became the second state to allow schools to give students academic credit for that instruction.

The South Carolina Released Time Credit Act, signed into law June 2 by Gov. Mark Sanford, permits schools to give students an elective credit for participating in the religion class.

“The (new law) just eliminates any questions of the legality or viability of Bible curriculums.” said Grayson Hartgrove, a member of the national organization Bible Education in School Time Network and program director for the Midlands Christian Learning Center.


my two cents:
I'm not sure the new law "...eliminates any questions of the legality or viability of Bible curriculums.” as it may be unconstitutional. But...that being neither here-nor-there, I'm going to organzie my Muslim friends to write a Koran Curriculum and I'm thinking of writing one for Satanists, based on The Church of Satan, using my thirty year old copy of the Satanic Bible as my resource guide.
I mean, if it only applies to one religion that should be unconstitutional.

I bet they already have a curriculum drafted. This could get very fun to watch! :popcorn:

Make them sorry they ever got their way.
You know any druids or people who practice Voodoo??? That'd rile the fundies up no end.

used to reply to the question from missionaries as to what religion she belonged to by stating she was a Druid. They usually responded with a question as to how she practiced her religion. "Get naked, paint yourself blue and dance to the light of the Moon" was her reply. That always got rid of them....:evilgrin:

I miss her. She was a sweetie and died well before her time..

As they say, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. A properly constructed curriculum with all the necessary Instructional System Developmental widgets properly built, or in this case reverse engineered, would be unimpeachable. They would be forced to either drop their stupidity to or accept your friend's course. It would be some delicious irony, which would be undoubtedly lost on our puritanical friends.

flipping hamburgers. I'n not sure if it can replace biology, geology, chemistry or statistics, but those revelations should do ya well in the drive thru window.
