Personaly I believe this a great elective to offer at a public school. After doing some research on what the course is about and how it is supposed to be taught I feel comfortable allowing the students to make the choice. The student will have the option of taken a similar course in college, which most are also govt funded.
It is nice to start seeing the wants of the many to start outweighing the complaints of the few.
If other religions wanted to support a similar class, they have the same options open to them. Nobody is saying this is a religious class, but a historical one. It just contains the dreaded words 'Bible and God' in this over PC world we live in now.
So for those of your argueing about a small part of the funds coming from the public, what are your views on school vouchers? With parent being able to pull their child from the public school and placing them in a religious school at your expense.
