It passed. Apparently the Wilson County school board thinks that it is perfectly acceptable to use taxpayer dollars to fund religious instruction in public schools.
Do you trust your government? Do you trust your government to teach religion in an unbiased manner? Would you accept a Utah school board funding religious instruction which included promoting the Mormon faith?
And why is this man smiling? Could it be that he has propelled the county back to the 1950’s? His brand of religion will be taught. I know nothing about him. And I ask you, if you knew nothing about someone, would you let them mold the minds of your child in religious instruction?
You want an elective in Bible? Go to your church’s Sunday school. It’s free and funded solely by private donations.
