84. Of course it is unconstitutional
..but that doesn't stop them. The fact that they need to have an entire area to explain how 'legal' it is (just like the WH faith based initiatives website) is pretty telling.

From these nutjobs website in the "legality" section...
"In 1963, the Supreme Court made a ruling, not against the study of the bible, but against the devotional, religious use of the Bible. Supreme Court Justice Clark stated,

It might be well said that one's education is not complete without a study of comparative religion or the history of religion and its relationship to the advancement of civilization. It certainly may be said that the Bible is worthy of study for its literacy and historic qualities. Nothing we have said here indicates that such study of the Bible or of religion, when presented objectively as part of a secular program of education, may not be effected consistently with the First Amendment."

So they have made the case AGAINST themselves! Their own argument states that it must be a COMPARATIVE RELIGION class!!

I really can't stand these people.
