The Texas State Board of Education approved an elective high school Bible course Friday, ignoring complaints from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
“Elective Bible courses now have the final green light from the Texas State Board of Education, and Texas has now gained an academic advantage," said Jonathan Saenz, director of legislative affairs for the Free Market Foundation.
“There was some token opposition from enemies of academic freedom, but at the end of the day, the (board) followed the attorney general's opinion and made the right decision.”
