Clergy group attacks schools’ Bible study course
Watchdog group says class promotes fundamentalist Christian world view

.....AUSTIN, Texas - A religious watchdog group complained Monday that a Bible
study course taught in hundreds of public schools in Texas and across the
country promotes a fundamentalist Christian view and violates religious
freedom.
The Texas Freedom Network, which includes clergy of several faiths,
also said the course offered by the Greensboro, N.C.-based National Council on
Bible Curriculum in Public Schools is full of errors and dubious research.

(by the way, dubious is one of my absolute favorite words)

“No public school student should have to have a particular religious belief
forced upon them,” the Rev. Ragan Courtney, pastor of The Sanctuary, a Baptist
congregation in Austin, said at a news conference held by Texas Freedom
Network.
