Bibles as Textbooks -- Holy MadCow...Batman - |

8. He's trying to dictate curriculum. Bad, bad bad. However, |
|
classes about religion have a place in public schools. I think it's great if children learn more about the religions of the world.
I wonder which Christian bible he would like to use? There could be a whole lot of contrversy right there.
:D

10. Two points about this |
|
On the one hand, if it's being taught as literature, fine. The guy pushing it as literature seems not to realise that literature is usually fiction. :evilgrin:
Second, "Projected costs to the state and local school district are about $200 million, legislative analysts said."
WHAT THE BLEEDING HELL¹???? The state is going bankrupt, and these "conservatives" want to spend another 200 million dollars to put Bibles in all our schools?
