Moreno was challenged by two other Ector County-affiliated school boards of trustees, who decided to not offer the Biblical course at their public schools. The “New Orleans Project II” is the textbook that was approved for the A-class at the local Louisiana charter high school. Moreno. “Lessons” (2010) states that the Bible text in the A-class was used in “the formation of a public higher education system, rather than in pre-K” by Ector County.

Moreno and its two independent teachers, Joseph Salles and Robert A. McGehey, argued that the B-class was inappropriate and would not be effective (Maine Revised Statutes 781.51(1) et seq.) and the teachers involved with it were “counselers” who “constructed a course that would be a major factor in the decision whether to proceed.” Moreno.

Moreno argued that “lessons” in the Bible text contained in the classroom instructional texts in E.G. Smith’s E.G. Smith, “E.G.: A History of the Race Problem,” that the Bible text at the public high schools was too difficult, lacked “clear and unambiguous justification, adequate to the general problem the text poses, and that its teaching will not serve to provide the best results in education for the more liberal and less democratic segments of today’s society.”

Mrs. Moreno and the other plaintiffs in this case believes religious education should be the responsibility of parents and religious communities, and not the public schools to which she sends her children (ACLU, 2007). Additionally, Mrs. Moreno and the other plaintiffs’ feels the use of their tax dollars to promote and endorse religion in the public school system is unconstitutional (ACLU, 2007).
The National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools was adopted by the Ector County Independent School District to implement their curriculum within the high schools. According to the American Civil Liberties Union (2007), the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools presents its own particular viewpoints and conclusions regarding important issues of biblical interpretation and authorship as though they were the only possible correct viewpoints.
Moreover, the Ector County Independent School District denied public access to parents and the media to view course materials of the The National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools (ACLU, 2007).
As a result, American Civil Liberties Union (2007) reported that The National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools course materials fails the legal requirements of religious neutrality and objectivity in at least four fundamental ways and they are as follows:
. The Course presents the Bible from the perspective of Christianity in general anda particular interpretation of Protestant Christianity specifically.. The Course teaches the Bible as literal, historical truth.. The Course uses the Bible to inculcate religious life lessons.. The Course presents a religious interpretation of American history that does notcomport with objective scholarly standards.The Bible course repeatedly advocates a one-sided and unchallenged view of the role of religion in America and it sends a message to students that America’s Constitution and laws were intended to promote particular religious values and interpretations (ACLU, 2007). On the whole, the Bible course skewed and factually flawed treatment of American History which further reveals that the operating principle of the Course is not neutral or objective, as constitutionally required, but rather the dogmatic promotion of a particular religious viewpoint (ACLU, 2007).
ReflectionIt is my opinion that in order for children to dissimilate laws within society, we should incorporate Bible courses in the public schools. I feel public schools should make a conscious effort to teach about religion, but without engaging in devotional practices or teaching
