Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty: 9th Circuit Hears Argument Over Use of the Bible in Idaho Schools

Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty: The Christian Post reports on one side of the argument: “The government’s hyperactive censorship of classical religious texts severely limits the education of students by leaving them with an incomplete understanding of history and their heritage,” stated attorney David Cortman, a senior counsel with religious liberties law firm Alliance Defense Fund. Cortman is urging the court to consider the Bible’s historical and cultural presence in American history as well as a Supreme Court ruling protecting the religious book as an educational tool.
