School board decides against Bible class
After a year of controversy, Frankenmuth Public Schools officials have decided against adding a religious group's Bible class as an elective high school course. Following the recommendation of superintendent Michael Murphy, school board members agreed that the "Bible As Literature and History" class, based on materials from the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools, would not be offered at Frankenmuth High School. Murphy said the proposed class was too close to religion and too far from history.
