NY Times again. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/29/education/29bible.html?ex=1144468800&en=697d0d416b3e79bb&ei=5070
The rest of the country just noticed Georgia's new bill (passed, not signed yet) that creates 2 new high school electives, with the Bible as a mandatory primary text. Supplementary material is allowed. Well, that's a relief.
One statement stands out. The one about how kids are illiterate of the Bible. Huh? Maybe I missed something, but Georgia is the most churched state I've seen. You can't walk down the street without tripping over a couple of churches. You get people bragging about how much time they spend in church-related activities. And the Bible isn't part of that experience? Seems there's something very wrong with that equation.
