Picture this: a clutch of Minneapolis Public Schools students scooting to a church across from their middle school for after-school activities derived from a Bible-based curriculum.  That image comes courtesy of Here’s Life Inner City, an organization of the Campus Crusade for Christ, who say they’ve taken the Bible study out of their S.A.Y. Yes! (Save America’s Youth) program. S.A.Y. Yes! is only one of many such church partnerships in the school district’s “new and growing faith-based initiative,” reports Scott Russell at the Twin Cities Daily Planet, who notes that most of the district’s faith-based partners are Protestant and evangelical (the kind of Islamic school that alarmed the Strib’s Katherine Kersten [Commentary response] isn’t yet a part of the mix in Minneapolis). Meanwhile, the Minnesota Monitor observes the district’s retreat from its tough stance early in the 2000s barring the Boy Scouts of America. The district’s lawyers have told the school board, in view of the Minnesota Human Rights Act’s “creed” protections, they can’t single out the BSA for a ban on the grounds of their religious oath requirement, and that therefore the board must allow BSA flyers to be distributed in the schools.
