Public School Considers Controversial Course

*/?>

Westside Consolidated School District is planning to add an academic “course on the Holy Bible for its public system, in keeping with a recently passed state law.” The law passed in the 2013 Arkansas Legislative Session, “Act 1440 allows schools to teach the academic study of the Bible. The [high school] principal conducted a survey of students, and several are interested in the possibility.”

The Superintendent of the school Bryan Duffie said the school is “looking for a Bible history curriculum to submit to the Westside School Board and Arkansas Department of Education to get their approval. This course does not establish any religion in the schools. It may be taught similar to how world religions are taught in the world history course.”

The school anticipates it will have a curriculum and teacher in place by the 2016-2017 academic school year.
