Bible Classes To Be Taught In KY Schools

They offered a Bible literature class at my high school. They have done that for decades. It was an optional class.

Whatever. Like I said, as long as it is an elective, nobody should care. If it really is a historical or literary class they should just reference the Bible or have a section on it in a literary or history class. I don't even have a problem if the kids even want to pray during the class...I am fine with it as long as it isn't required or officially sanctioned by the teacher. I'm just saying if somebody wants to have a historical perspective of the Qu'ran taught they would have a legitimate lawsuit to get the class.

My whole point is why even open this slippery slope with a class of its own. History or Literature aside, it is still an inherently religious document.

They would only have a legit lawsuit if it was required.

If one student wants a koran class, but no one else does, the LEA does not have to have the class, and that comes down to funding. The Bible class probably had enough kids that wanted to take it, so the funding was there. It is most likely a local elective that is paid for by local funding.

I guess what I really mean is they would have a legitimate lawsuit to get the class removed, unless the local funding pony's up the cash to at least have the Qu'ran class offered. Not saying I necessarily agree with it, but that is just the way it is.

they can "offer it," as in put it on the course sheet, but if no one signs up for it, then they dont have the class, and dont pay the money for it, that is a simple fix.

besides, after what all the koran talks about, im pretty sure that it would prove as innapropriate material anyways

Why does anyone need to learn about the Bible?

It is just an outdated piece of literature, fabricated by its authors. Its has no place in the New World Order.

Nothing like tales of piling up cut-off thumbs, or raping your sister. Ooh, or the one where Lot's daughters get him tipsy and have him father his own grand kids? Some of the Songs of Solomon are pretty steamy, too. Antelopes nibbling on the grass as he nibbles on his lover, and the like.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Bible has a lot of literary value. Probably one of the most from a Western perspective. But one can hardly act like it is any less "obscene" than the Koran, or various elements of ancient history.

I'm sure you could find some high school boys wanting to hear about 72 virgins and wine.

No argument from me there. As long as this class is an elective, you won't get an argument from me there.

exactly; it's fine there being a bible course, doesn't really have to be a requirement

but history and biology and everything still need to be taught; this doesn't need to replace any of those
