Apparently, the Nampa Classical Academy of Boise, Idaho, received praise from school officials in 2008 and several months following for its curriculum plans. Now, things have changed.
Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed an appeal Monday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, contesting a federal judge’s decision to dismiss a lawsuit that challenges the Idaho Public Charter School Commission’s across-the-board ban on the use of texts and documents deemed to be “religious.” ADF attorneys filed the lawsuit on behalf of Nampa Classical Academy last November after the commission threatened to revoke the academy’s charter if it used the Bible or other religious texts on its classroom resource list for any purpose whatsoever.
I’m running out of ways to say “stupid.”
I wonder how many times people like the commissioners think or even talk about the possibilities for banning the Bible from their state altogether. Do they ever think about religious book taxes or book distribution permits?
Does this mean schools can’t teach our kids Greek mythology? Or the parts of history where people used religion to justify their actions?
