Dear Friends of Enlighten Education Co-op,
I’m happy to announce that I finished a 110 page curriculum for teaching the Bible in the public schools that meets the guidelines set by the courts regarding separation of church and state issues in that it has a secular purpose and neither promotes nor denigrates any particular religious world view. It is in three parts, one: A Survey of Comparative Religions; two: A Survey of the Old Testament, and three: A Survey of the New Testament.
I attach it here along with A Rationale for a Bible Curriculum.
Please give me feedback on this material and also my proposed strategy of putting it into the public domain. In other words, I think we should make it free to any school districts that want to use it. Our organization can promote the curriculum and charge consulting fees for helping districts implement it. I believe this is the best way to get the material before students in a timely way while leaving the door open for EEC to gain income on the consulting process.
Thanks for your continued encouragement. Please forward these two documents widely among friends and acquaintances, especially if they are connected to public education.
School superintendents can offer this material as elective courses or incorporate it into existing courses in history, literature, social studies, etc. I am available to any news organizations that may be interested in hearing more about this topic.
