Worthy of Study

In 1963, the Supreme Court of the United States expressly ruled: “The Bible is worthy of study for its literary and historic qualities.” The Court affirmed that when a Bible class is presented objectively as part of a “secular program of education,” in public education, such a class is constitutional under the First Amendment (School District of Abington Township v. Schempp (1963).

(In 2020, Delegate Roxanne Robinson and Dr. Wilma J. Brown-Foreman, Ed. S proposed HB1122 in the Virginia House of Delegates to implement a constitutionally sound Bible literacy elective course in secondary public schools in Virginia.)
