"Knowing Dr. Kennedy's activism for a long time, he was one who initially advocated for these very types of classes. I'm sure he would only want believing Christians to teach these courses, but that isn't possible to ensure in a secular environment."
Its really not. You could require degrees in philosophy or religion but that doesn't automatically get you people who believe the bible is the inspired word of God.
And frankly 90% of us who believe the is the inspired word of God believe there are parts of it that cannot be taken literally word for word as God's intent for us to live by.
Fundamentalists won't be happy with that approach either.

So who decides which words to take literally, symbolically, metaphorically, or spiritually?

We know Catholics and Protestants are divided over literal interpretation of John 6:54-56.

I don't like this proposal. Its fraught with problems and too much mischief. I mean how many Bible studies and Sunday schools can a person attend in a average city. Thats not even getting into the subject of private schools

Where did you pull that figure from? I think I can guess it's very near you hip pockets.
