On the one hand, I want to say that this is a good thing, as long as they keep the Bible a purely historical document. However, since this is Texas, I know that it's not going to be that way. Besides, the students who are taking it will affect how it is taught, and what non-Christian teenager is going to take a Bible history class? But, I do realize that this is a step in the right direction. Perhaps someone will now take up the cause to have the Qu'ran, the Bahgivad-Gita, and other religious texts taught as history classes.
