If you're going to teach one religion in school, we should educate on ALL of them and that's alot, so since that's not possible, teaching religion has NO place in PUBLIC schools . . . if they want their children to be taught in a religious style, there are plently of christan based schools to do so.

That's the exact some reaction I had while reading the article. If the school is offering it as a Biblical history class or an actual study of the events in the Bible then that isn't bad at all. When the class becomes something akin to Wednesday night Bible Club, which it might, then there's something to worry about. If you're so concerned about your children's Christian education send them to a religious-ed. based facility.
I think learning about the "Big Three" religious, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, is a requirement in most social studies curriculi. At least I remember learning about it 7th grade.
