I agree with you I didn't find enough information from the video to answer the question whether or not the Dover, Pennsylvania school board provided "appropriate leadership" in the situation. I was a bit confused, but stated my own opinion. I also agree with you on your statement on the general guidelines a "Christian" must follow. Christians have different views on a lot of things than people who are non-Christians. Religion has had an enormous impact on art, literature, and history (e.g., the Crusades, New World exploration, pg. 261). As a teacher, one has the legal right to determine what is taught in their classroom.
I don't agree that biblical things should be taught in public schools. One those children have to be willing to learn. Most teachers and students that go to public school aren't religious and may not want to know the Bible. But I can say there should be religious courses for those students who want to learn more about God. If public schools allow Bible teaching it shouldn't be taught in history, math or English class, etc. It should be a Bible class alone that teaching these students the survey of the Bible and World Religion. If so it should be taught as a social studies credit. Which religious studies are considered a social studies credit. And students may apply for that credit hour.
