 BOISE, Idaho  —  A public charter school is suing Idaho  officials, saying the state illegally barred use of the Bible as an  instructional text. The Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund  filed suit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Boise on behalf of Nampa Classical  Academy in Idaho. The charter school is scheduled to open  Sept. 8 and had planned to use the Bible as a primary source of teaching  material, but not to teach religion. The Idaho Public Charter School Commission  said last month that the school couldn't use the Bible because the state  constitution "expressly" limits use of religious texts. The Alliance Defense Fund says the school  has a statutory right to choose its own curriculum and the Bible shouldn't be  singled out for censorship.
