Idaho bill requires daily Bible readings in schools

A new bill in Idaho, known as HB 162, requires public schools to read the Bible daily. This proposal has sparked a significant debate across the country. Supporters of the bill, mainly from conservative groups, believe that reading the Bible in schools is in line with historical practices. They argue that it follows a 2022 Supreme Court ruling related to religion in education. On the other hand, critics say the bill goes against the U.S. Constitution's separation of church and state. They worry that this could lead to religious favoritism in public education. As the bill moves forward, it is intensifying discussions about the role of religion in schools throughout the United States.
