That's why the schools have no business in teaching it. That's the parents' or churches' job.

So Biblical literacy basics that are alluded to in much of western literature is unimportant for schools to teach? Or are you proposing that atheist and agnostic parents teach Biblical literacy to their children?

I don't even see a problem with asking whether Adam and Eve got a fair deal as in the objection in the article. If they just teach the book with similarly to the works of Sophocles, Mark Twain, or Arthur Miller, then it would be a huge improvement to the current state of affairs.

Do you honestly envision that the bible will be taught simply on it's literary merits or lack thereof? And what version should be used? This opens a whole can of worms, that is simply a thinly veiled attempt to get the bible in the front door of the school, and then expand it's use in the curriculim. The teaching of the bible is best left to parents and clergy, not secular schools.
