President Donald Trump gave his blessing Monday to lawmakers in several states who are pushing legislation to allow Bible literacy classes in public schools.
“Numerous states introducing Bible Literacy classes, giving students the option of studying the Bible,” Trump wrote in a morning tweet. “Starting to make a turn back? Great!”
His tweet came shortly after a segment on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" reporting that bills have been introduced in at least six states that would allow public school children to study the historical significance of the Bible.
The legislation has drawn objections from groups seeking to protect the separation of church and state.
