Fox News reports:
A school district in West Virginia has been thrust into the national spotlight after a lawsuit filed by two county residents accused the district of violating the Constitution over its weekly Bible study courses.
Supporters of the Mercer County public school class, which is offered during school time for 30 minutes at the elementary level and 45 minutes in middle school, maintain that it’s optional.
They also say that the content of the classes are worthy, intended to explore the history and literature of the Bible and not geared toward promoting religion.
