Odessa Bible curriculum case settled

[Ed Brayton]

The case in Odessa, Texas over the constitutionality of the Bible curriculum
put together by the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools
has been settled. The school board agreed to stop teaching the elective
Bible class. I don't have a copy of the settlement yet but should have it in
the next 24 hours. I'm rather disappointed personally. I really thought this
case was going to do for that area of the law what the Dover case did for
the intelligent design controversy and I'd hoped to write a book about it.
Still, it's the right outcome. That curriculum was one of the worst examples
of bad scholarship and cheap indoctrination I've ever seen.
