Lawyers for a West Virginia public school system are asking a judge to maintain a 75-year practice of putting children in Bible classes.
WVVA-TV reports attorneys for the Mercer County Board of Education and Mercer County Schools filed a motion with the judge this week to dismiss a mother’s lawsuit over the board’s “Bible in the Schools” program.

The commission will be chaired by Tourism Secretary Chelsea Ruby with members to be announced in the coming weeks.
