This is terrible news. I wanted to get one of their degrees so I could have one of those apostate conversions they’re so fond of.

Actually whose only qualification is to indoctrinate in a particular religion.

Classes about religion(s) in public schools should be taught by people with an accredited degree with, ideally, coursework from a religious studies program at an accredited school.

But, in the end, what public school is going to hire a science teacher to teach science with only qualifications to teach religious classes?

The ICR is apparently out of the woods after all. The Texas Administrative Code provides, "The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board does not regulate Religious Institutions of Higher Education which offer degrees only in religious disciplines" (19 Tex. Admin. Code 1.7A, Â§7.9). It appears that THECB failed to clarify the relevant frequently asked questions of its website section in light of the Texas Supreme Court's decision in HEB Ministries, Inc. et al. v. Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (235 S.W.3d 627 [Tex. 2007]), which established that THECB does not have oversight over institutions that offer exclusively religious education and training.
