A question for those in areas where the public schools have a bible course?

[pstokely]

Who teaches the class, A teacher or some local preacher? The fundies think of these as backdoor ways into public schools

[Frustratedlady]

1. That isn't legal, is it? Separation of church and state. n/t

2. Some schools offer bible classes, comparative religion classes, etc. The

ones I've seen locally do not do any preachy type stuff, no saving of derelict souls, no suggestions that one is better than the other. The bible classes present the information more as a work of literature than religion.

None of them attempt to establish a religion, thus no problem with the separation issue. IMO.

3. My HS taught the bible

as literature. By a hard-assed English teacher, too.
