How should a Bible literature class be taught?
When teaching about the Bible in a public school, teachers must understand the important distinction between advocacy, indoctrination, proselytizing, and the practice of religion which is unconstitutional and teaching about religion that is objective, nonjudgmental, academic, neutral, balanced, and fair which is constitutional. The class should neither promote nor disparage religion, nor should it be taught from a particular sectarian point of view. Supernatural occurrences and divine action described in the Bible may not be taught as historical fact in a public school. The historicity of many persons and events described in the Bible may or may not be confirmed by evidence outside of Biblical literature.
