Idaho to shut school involved in Bible controversy (AP)

BOISE, Idaho – An Idaho public charter school that unsuccessfully sued the state for barring use of the Bible as a historical text in the classroom will be shuttered because of financial troubles, officials said Thursday. The Idaho Public Charter School Commission voted to revoke Nampa Classical Academy’s charter, citing a lack of stability in the school’s finances, despite a school board member’s plea “for grace and mercy.” While school administrators complain they’ve been unfairly targeted because of their differences with the state over use of the Bible, the commission insists the academy’s money troubles are to blame.
