FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) - The Senate Standing Committee on Education passed a bill to allow the Bible to be taught in schools as an elective.

"The students are hungering for an understanding of not just what's going on with math and all that, they're hungering for an understanding of what's going on with our culture," Representative DJ Johnson said. "Sunday School is a religion class where you are talking about the religious aspects and your spiritual life, where this is talking about the cultural aspects and the historical aspects."

Senator Gerald Neal said, "Islam is like the, if you talk about numbers that's embraced by human beings the, largest religion in the world."
