I'd be all for the class if they called it "Religion", not "Bible class". Have it study all major (and some minor) world religions, and all of their various teachings and histories. I would have loved learning about Judism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Shinto, Confucianism, Jainism, Taoism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Bahá'í, and the slew of other religions out there. Of course I didn't just fall off the turnup truck. This class will basically be about how Jesus is a Republican, and how Muslims are all Arab, and they all hate freedom. That might sound harsh, but odds are that's the story.
