The state House Public Education Committee met last night to consider Rep. Chisum’s bill mandating statewide elective Bible courses in Texas public schools.

I wasn’t able to make the meeting to liveblog it, but, fortunately, Off the Kuff had the same idea.

A FOX News report also gives a decent amount of space to the opposing side of the issue. Though I really think it should note some of the more egregious errors the Texas Freedom Network’s study found. And maybe the fact that Elizabeth Ridenour, the current publisher of the worst curriculum available and who was previously a real estate agent and paralegal, isn’t exactly a Biblical scholar.

Back in 1999, Alabama had this same problem when the fundamentalist Aesopians tried to insert their literal interpretation of the fox-grape parable into the state’s school-lunch program.
