Put me in the agnostic column on that one. How much daylight do you suppose there will be between the approved curriculum and the literalist reading favored by so many conservatives?

This should be interesting.

It breaks the First Amendment and separation of church and state.

That's not what the poster wrote. Nor is it related to my question.

But thank you.

But I have a law degree so what do i know?

So I guess that's that.

I read the article to say the bill requires that schools offer the class, not that students have to take it. Although even at that, I can see how in certain areas a failure to take the class could subject a student to ridicule and bullying.

I could put together a kick-ass curriculum for such a class, but I have a feeling I'd run into a buzzsaw of opposition. Probably start as soon as I taught the kiddos that Jesus wasn't followed around by four guys named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John who wrote down all the things he said and did. I had a fledgling discussion end quite abruptly one time when I said that to my interlocutor.

And it was the first time I started thinking critically about what it actually said...

A class on satanism and by deeply held Jedi beliefs as well.

I think a class on Sith teachings is also completely legit 😁

And druidism. As well as Thor...and Zeus.

Class on religion, ALL religions, is one thing, but a class just to push a single, one-sided book of myths and skewed history would make Jefferson & Madison revoke Florida's statehood.

There are so many different ones.

Baptist bible? Mormon bible???
