Item: Nampa Classical Academy addresses use of Bible as source material in classroom/Bryan Dooley, Idaho Press Tribune

More Info: Teachers will refer to the Bible when it adds valuable context to discussions of the development of Western civilization, literature or specific historic events, Borger said. Portions of the Quran will be used similarly in a class discussing Middle East history, he said. The press release issued by the school states that the texts will not be used to establish factual truth, but as a primary source to offer greater understanding of history and culture. "Nampa Classical Academy is dedicated to using direct source materials whenever and wherever possible. Instead of relying on the opinions of historians, Nampa Classical Academy will study the writings and documents most closely associated with that historical event," school officials wrote.

Question: Do you agree with the approach that the Nampa charter school is taking re: use of Bible and Quran in the classroom?
