Reply #49: with 85% of the class gone?

It would be impossible to maintain a steady curriculum for all the students in this situation. The students who didn't go would have an unfair advantage, and the parents would immediately sue the schoolboard, claiming they were pressuring the students to stay away from church. This would be the kind of thing the Alliance Defense Fund and the Am. Center for Law and Justice would snatch up instantly.

I'm no fan of these kind of "Bible classes," but constitutionally, as long as the schools do not pressure students to attend, they're within the law.
