Sounds great to me. While they are at it, a course in manners would not hurt either.

While I love my Bible, and attend church on a bi-weekly basis....the smarta$$ in me just has to ask it....
When do they start teaching Algebra in Sunday school?
Biology in the pews on Sunday anyone?
I am no more in favor of this than I am of GSA's in school. Neither are appropriate for the environment there.

When I went to school, we had a class called, "The Bible as Literature." I'm stunned this is being considered a first. I will admit that was in the late 70s.

We studied the Bible when I was in high school. In 1998.

It doesn't MATTER.
Should Islamic studies be there as an elective?
How about Hinduiism?
Budhism anyone?

What great news for Georgia - after hearing about the Cynthia McKinney slap.
BTW, we have manners here in Georgia... .

Should Islamic studies be there as an elective?I would support this because it would wake up the next generation to the fascist nature of Islam.

I am no more in favor of this than I am of GSA's in school. Neither are appropriate for the environment there. The Bible is the 'best-seller' of all times. Why shouldn't students be allowed to take the Bible as an elective?
(They would also raise their SAT scores by reading the King James translation.)

You think so huh? A class taught in a public school by liberal teachers?

The one unintended consequence of this is that it could bolster attempts of liberals and islamists to get the koran into our public high schools.
To: najida
Bible study is how we come to know Jesus, and could be a wonderful growth experience for these students. I would also cringe a bit at the context in which His word may be taught by those with the wrong motivations.
On balance though, anyway His word gets spread is a good thing.

I also worry about the fact that you'll have liberal teachers teaching the Bible with a liberal curriculum. I don't quite trust government schools to teach children religion.
To: trubluolyguy
Quite a bit of practical biology is handled in the Bible, given the author.

I have personal and admittedly abnormal reasons for cringing.

This is absolutely fabulous.
The Bible SHOULD be taught in literature classes because it IS literature...the most influential ever.
These kids are lucky...they are going to be among the smartest in the nation in coming years.
