I was doing my regular tour of our public schools in Freehold recently when an elementary school principal asked me how the Bible should be taught in Freehold. I was a bit taken aback because I had given the person in charge of all schools explicit orders on this topic and thought he had passed it on to every principal and teacher. Sometimes you have to just do things yourself.
I explained to the principal we are a public school so students must be given the choice of which religion they follow. However, children need be told the Bible is the word of God and if not followed death will bring an eternity in fire. We do occasionally have students whose parents have just moved into the school district and are not Christian. Fortunately, these parents quickly move elsewhere.
What should public schoolchildren learn about the Bible?
