Sounds like a generally good idea, but it could have been done better, and more resistant to the ACLU. How about authorizing elective religion courses in general? Courses would be developed and taught based on parent and student interest. The first one out the gate of course would be one on the Bible because that would have the most interest. After a while you’d probably end up with courses on the the Tanakh and Talmud for Jews, and maybe the Koran for Muslims.
As long as it’s educational and not proselytizing I don’t see how any reasonable person can have a problem with such a system. I know, I know, we’re not dealing with reasonable leftists here.
