Hopefully unConstitutional
A bill proposed in the West Virginia state Senate would require all schools in the state to offer an elective course on the Bible, WHSV reported Monday. The elective course would have to be offered in both private and public schools, and could be taught on either the Bible or Hebrew scriptures. The courses would "teach students knowledge of biblical content, characters, poetry, and narratives that are prerequisites to understanding contemporary society and culture,” according to the legislation. Laws about “religion neutrality” would have to be followed in implementing the classes, “while accommodating the diverse religious views of students," the bill reads.

From The Hill Sounds more educational than how to toke pot. |

OK That is a belief system too and the proponents "preach" as much if not more than the religious. To your first note I would ask why would it be unconstitutional if it is a broadly based curriculum about various religions? As soon as they recognize different denominations, they are not establishing "A" religion. Properly taught it could be a valuable lesson in diversity. |
