The chairman of Boston University's religion department offers this proposal: Public high schools should require one course in the Bible for all their students and another in world religions
He cites surveys showing that most Americans can't even name one of the four biblical gospels and that many high school students think that Sodom and Gomorrah were a married couple.

Sodom, where the word sodomy originated ... not surprised high school kids don't know that. Today we give Sodomites SPECAIAL rights and EXALT them - totally contrary to what God clearly says about sin.

Their taught that sodomites are "normal" and "just another lifestyle CHOICE". Why bother to discuss what's WRONG with it since that goes AGAINST the godless public school agenda.

And Gomorrah is half of an Irish exclamation...

Not at all surprising, what did he expect they have been trying for years to take religion out of our lives.
To: Freelance Warrior
I didn't need another story to convince me that Americans are generally stupid, but thanks. This one covers things most others don't. I guess this extends, for me, the list of things about which Americans are stupid.
But at least the public schools are acheiving their intended goals.

I'm pretty sure that they went through one of Gavin 'Any Twosome' Newsom's civil ceremonies at San Francisco's City Hall.

"They" don't control whether parents take their kids to church, where they can learn these things.

I'm not exactly taken with the idea of government schools and liberal teachers unions teaching our kids about the bible. You can imagine what kinds of scriptual interpretations would be taught.
To: nmh
"Their taught that...."
Too bad no one is teaching the difference among they're/their/there. :)
To: ICE-FLYER
Gosh. Where did your religious education come from? Mine came from church and family.
I guess it's just easier now to throw off the responsibility for certain elements of education, makes it easier to blame someone else for the ills that follow, I guess.
