The House of Representatives here in Arkansas have recently passed a bill that would put into law that courses on the Bible can be taught in public high schools. It seems that only in the Bible belt would we hear of such a law trying to be passed. The bill was drafted by Rep. Denny Altes of Fort Smith and it passed 71-16. Altes claims it will have no effect on what schools are currently doing. I think it would clearly have an effect on what schools are doing now. I know that even in my small town high school we did not have a Bible course, nor did we learn about the Bible in our literature courses.
