The South Carolina Released Time Credit Act, signed into law June 2 by Gov. Mark Sanford, permits schools to give students an elective credit for participating in the religion class. According to The State newspaper, students can take part in the Released Time programs because of a 1952 court ruling, saying it is constitutional for students to leave campus to take part in religious education courses.
Okay, what we need is a couple of folks in the Palmetto State who can put together an off-campus course on Flying Spaghetti Monsterism. Anybody out there?
I wonder if the law allows for online learning (from, say, an internet cafe)?
