It's studying the bible as a piece of liturature. I went to a school where this almost passed, it would have been taught by a teacher (one of the handful that held everyone's respect for following rules to the letter) who ensured she would NOT teach religion. What it's intended to do (in our district at least), it to teach the bible as a liturature piece, not as truth.
Now, for those of you that dont understand, the bible is THE most alluded to book in the history of history. So, teaching the bible as a piece of liturature helps the students understand almost every literacy piece from the middle ages onwards with more depth of knowledge.
If this is indeed a bible school class (which I seriously doubt it's intended to be); I could understand, and fully oppose it. But to just blatantly disagree with it because it's about a book you may or may not agree with, without even bothering to see the truth is not the way to go about things.
