Here we go again! There is talk of another state adding religious studies to their daily curriculum in public schools!
Marshall, one of the expert reviewers, also recommends that school children get a better understanding of the motivational role the Bible and the Christian faith played in the settling of the original colonies. He provided multiple examples of early Americans parlaying their biblical views into the communities and governments they established – beginning with the Pilgrims who risked their lives in coming to America.
“In light of the overwhelming historical evidence of the influence of the Christian faith in the founding of America, it is simply not up to acceptable academic standards that throughout the social studies (curriculum standards) I could only find one reference to the role of religion in America’s past,” Marshall said in his review.
Is this the new line of attack being used by Christians across the country? It appears that some organization has came up with the idea that it is important for students to learn about the Christian faith of those who founded this country. This is the exact same wording used to justify the religious curriculum in Idaho schools. Will this type of reasoning spread to all public schools across the country?
