New public school textbook about the Bible
An interfaith group is releasing a new textbook aimed at teaching public high school students about the Bible while avoiding legal and religious disputes.
The nonprofit Bible Literacy Project of Fairfax, Va., spent five years and $2 million developing “The Bible and Its Influence.” The textbook, to be introduced at a Washington news conference, won initial endorsements from experts in literature, religion and church-state law.
The textbook “shows that it can be done,” said American Jewish Congress attorney Marc Stern, an adviser on the effort. “And it will short-circuit people who would take religion entirely out of the public school curriculum.”

WHAT!!!!! Come on now .... Next it will be the Koran that will want a place in public schools, and then it will be the Shinto Scrolls. I can't believe that the government and my own RELIGION would stoop so low as to pressure students to learn the bible by just simply labeling it as a historical text book. I for one know plenty of parents and legal gurdians that will not only find this extremely offensive but also darn near unforgiveable. I think that if this is going to happen it should not be a required class. WOW!! This is going to cause such a problem that parents very well might pull kids out of school in protest, which hurts the children, but I guess that isn't who the government worries about they can't vote....Can't religion keep its dirty little fingers out of things that the FOUNDING FATHERS tried to keep seperate. STOP THE INSANITY
