I am so tired of hearing arguments about why the Bible should be taught in public schools. Do people want this country to be a theocracy or a democracy? Why don't people consider religion to be a private, personal thing the should be restricted to the home environment?
The republicans who are pushing mandantory Bible classes for high school students claim that it will be conducted from an objective point of view. Of course, this would all depend on the teacher. My question is, if learning about the Bible is essential to a good education, then why not also make it mandantory to learn about the Koran, buddhism, etc. etc.?
