THIS is pretty amazing;
"The course, mandated by Senate Bill 278, would focus on improving students' knowledge of biblical content, characters, poetry and narratives, with the intention of providing students with analytic skills and historical knowledge that would serve as a framework for understanding contemporary society and culture, reported WKYT."

Not that Donald Trump is some kind of religious influence, but he HAS influenced everyday Americans to stand up and speak out in a way that, the politicians are REALLY listening and acting upon "we, the people"
Heads exploding across lefty America! So awesome ! If the Koran is a historical document certainly the Bible is too.
Separately, two Marxist theorists-Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary-concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.
Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the workers class. The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a “long march through the culture.”

But, if you are going to allow the bible, someone will demand they include the Koran.
Remember ... we ARE a nation of laws and laws are made every day
Would be best if you kept religion at the home and church level. Even Christians have different interpretations of the bibles meanings. Best to leave that to the family.
We’ve had the Bible as Literature for years. Not mandatory, but as an elective.
A proper understanding of the koran would cause reasonable people to reject its “teachings” and islam.
Antagonists and provocateurs find small inconsequential variances, blow it up as it is a violation of dogma and attempt to disunite and separate the Christian from Christ .... and that just ain't gonn'a happen
Ok, if that is true, why are ther there so many different breeds of Baptist?
Then maybe the family and churches should do just that.
Growing up in a small town we had a Catholic grade school, a Lutheran grade school and a public grade school and one public high school.
I would not care for my child to be indoctrinated in teaching of the bible that may or may not represent it in the proper context.
there aren’t
around here there at least 473
they all seem to agree to have church on Sunday morning however
Sure they do. If they didn’t you wouldn’t have the hundreds of denominations.
Your flavor of Christianity may differ from others.
Now tell me, how does an educator explain the Old Testament to a 3rd grader, or, that educators bias towards his own beliefs.
Fact is you can’t, leave it up to the family, that’s where it belongs.
Great!!! Thank You, Jesus!
That explains your tag line. Just saying it does not make it so.
And I am SO happy to see you guys display the tactics of the left to eliminate Christianity from the American culture
I'm gonn'a have fun here
A provocateur would pose the question, though
Your statement is BS. No one is trying to eliminate Christianity.
That is why most churches have parochial schools for their members along with Sunday school and bible study. You want your kid to learn the bible, get your ass up an extra hour on sunday morning and get him to bible class before church.
I went to a Bible class and there were about 10 of us and we had to read aloud different verses, pretty much all of the guys read at a 4th or 5th grade level. I ended up having to read all of the verses other wise we would had to listen to them stumble thru any word with more than 2 syllables. They could not tell you what a verse meant and so I had to answer and tell what they meant. It got so bad I stopped answering. When I told them what verse meant they would ask the preacher if I was right, he agreed with me every time. I finally stopped going because the jealousy got so bad I was making enemies.
