Nampa Classical Academy and the Bible

A charter school in the state of Idaho named Nampa Classical Academy is currently being investigated by the Idaho Attorney General's office. It is currently investigating the use of the Bible at this school. A religious liberty group has even threatened to sue the school for its use of the Bible at the school.

Although this is happening the school is still refusing to give information out to the Attorney General's office and the school is defying an order from the Idaho Public Charter School Commission by not releasing the information requested. Also the religious liberty group states that the Commission has to continuously ask for the information or else the group will file a lawsuit. Apparently the charter school has gained attention from the news before because was reported to have planned to use the Bible as a primary source of teaching material. This was stop though because the Commission told the school that the Bible could not be taught as a source of teaching material.

I definitely believe that the Bible should not be taught in schools because it seems to be a direct violation of the Constitution and religious freedom in the United States. I hope that the school will give out information to the Commission so that a lawsuit will put upon the school.
