Legislators at the Iowa Statehouse have introduced a bill that would allow or require schools to teach the Bible as an elective course, but some are opposing it as an “extreme piece of legislation.”
State Rep. Dean Fisher and 11 other Republicans this week introduced House File 2031, which would direct the state Department of Education to prepare material and teacher training for a high school elective course that focuses on the Hebrew Scriptures and the Bible’s New Testament.
“Basically, I want to give students the opportunity to study the Bible from the perspective of its impact on history and culture,” Des Moines Register quoted Fisher as saying.
