Churches teaching teachers how to teach religion

Nonbelievers see the program as inappropriate if not illegal.

Are conservative Little Rock churches teaching public school- teachers how to bring religion into their classrooms, thereby circumventing laws that require separation of church and state? LeeWood Thomas, a spokesman for a coalition of atheist and agnostic groups, thinks so. A church official's response is ambiguous. A veteran teacher who went through the one-day course said the instructors didn't tell anyone to break the law, but "It became very clear to me as the day progressed that the objective was to encourage teachers to abide by the letter of the law while quietly sabotaging the intent of the law."
