Yes, it does. But this is a recent phenomenon. It wasn't always the case.
I completely disagree with the concept of content neutrality in education which half the Supreme Court has ruled by. I don't think there is such as a thing as neutrality in education. We aren't neutral people.
And I agree with you that entrusting the education of these important works to teachers who are actively resistant to them is detrimental. Imagine letting PatrickHenry and Right Wing Professor teach the Bible!
But of course academic freedom would not prevent them from pinging their ideas. Some kind of freedom is necessary for right ideas to prevail.
The answer then, short of being insurmountable, is a change in the concept of public education. This will be especially necessary if our government insists that public education will not allow academic freedom.
The Bible is not my area of scholarship, although I am by no means ignorant of its origins. However, I suspect your problem is more basic. Most Christians believe things about the Bible that are objectively false - they identify three of the four evangelists with apostles, for example. Any real Bible scholar is going to reject the idea that the Bible is literally true, and in fact what is taught under Bible studies in most fundamentalist colleges is, I suspect, rubbish.
That sounds like a really cool class. When can I enroll?
