Hobby Lobby President Steve Green wants to put courses on the
Bible on the curriculum at public high schools.
Bible course in thousands of
schools by 2017.
Green told the Mustang
school board last fall that the
one-year trial of the Bible
curriculum developed by
the Green Scholars Initiative
wasn’t intended to proselytize
or “go down denominational,
religious-type roads,” and persuaded the board that the plan
would pass any constitutional
challenges.
That is possible, said Mark
Chancey, a professor of religious studies at Southern
Methodist University. But
while a carefully constructed
course about the Bible can be
constitutional, it’s easy to cross
a line.
