No it's not. School is about teaching about culture. In the US, there are more Christians than any other denomination, so it makes since to teach about the populace.

Schools have Black History classes, but don't offer, portuguise history, Asian History, Brazilian History. Do I have an issue with the schools offering Black History classes? NO! Why, because our populace has a significant number directly affected by Black History.

We teach in great detail about US Civil War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam but do not spend the same amount of time on the war of the Baltics, other country Civil Wars, Israel/Palestine - Why, becuase our poulace has a direct correlation to the wars that the US has been involved in.

So, to have classes about other religions that are in proportion to our populace is not an issue at all. If an appropriate proportion of our country is muslim, I wouldn't have an issue with them teaching a class on the Koran.

Yes it is. I just read it over and I can't find what you're talking about, it says nothing about it being a history on Christianity here. It says this....


"The State Board of Education cleared the way Friday to add an elective Bible course for high school students, but the issue is far from clear."



You have an apples and oranges argument going on, being black/Brazilian/asian etc. isn't a belief at all, a person cannot be swayed to be black or asian. And because a larger proportion of the country is Christian, that makes it okay? What about the 75 million that aren't Christian? A class on the history of Christianity would be pushing it, but this isn't that, this is a class on the Bible...And I would bet the farm that if this was the Koran, there would be a very large uproar from these very people.



I want a class taught on the Gospels of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and others for non-believers. There is a higher number of non-believers in the US than blacks, hispanics, Jews, Muslims...so if we got the numbers? See.

I don't see anything wrong with them teaching about what our country was founded on.

That'd be okay if we were founded on it, but we weren't. A lot of the Founding Fathers weren't christians and understood how important the Separation of Church and State was and is.

It disgust me when you have people that want to take god out of everything, I dont profess to be a christian.....but I'm smart enough to know if it wasn't for god you or I would not be able to anything, and one of these days we will all have to stand before him and give account for the life that we have lived on this earth !!!! And btw, for a lot of kids, this sadly to say is all they will be taught about God, because they have parents that want to take god out of everything, and this sickens me !!!!!!!!

God doesn't belong in anything like this, this is a country that has made it clear with our Freedom of Religion. That's your opinion, that isn't fact, that isn't my belief and religion has no place in Schools. Let everyone worry about what's going to happen if there were to be a God, not your place to tell them and not their place to teach this. Indoctrination sickens me just as much.
