In principle I have no problem with offering a course on the Bible in public school as long as 1. it's an elective, 2. it's taught as a critical course that examines the Bible as a historical document, literature, as part of a study on other religion's texts, or in the context of its impact on society. However, seeng that the National Council on Bible Curriculum is involved, my hackles go up. Those folks are loonies, not to put too fine a point on it. They have an agenda to push and are less interested in the adequate instruction of our children than in turning the country into a theocracy. Bible study - how does the Bible say you and everyone else on earth ought to live your lives - is for Sunday school, not public school.
