Supreme Court nears ruling on Pennsylvania Bible reading in schools
The Pennsylvania Bible reading law and a 1959 opt-out amendment are under Supreme Court review after Abington Township residents challenged the practice at Abington Senior High School. The state cites tradition while opponents argue it coerces students and infringes religious freedom. The case could set a broad precedent affecting public life and beliefs nationwide. The Abington couple will file their brief within 30 days, with arguments potentially late February. The article also notes school reorganization plans for 38 counties awaiting hearings in January or March.
