“The little Supreme Court in my head says this is OK.”
Rep. Sage Dixon (Betsy Z. Russell)
From Betsy Z. Russell at The Spokesman-Review / 03.21.2016:
Legislation saying the use of the Bible as a reference in Idaho’s public schools is “expressly permitted” passed the Idaho House on Monday and headed to the governor’s desk – even though the state attorney general concluded such a law is “specifically prohibited” by the Idaho Constitution.
…
Idaho’s Constitution contains far stricter restrictions on the use of religious texts in schools than the U.S. Constitution, saying, “No books, papers, tracts or documents of a political, sectarian or denominational character shall be used” in Idaho public schools.
