Let the bible belt come and save my soul

Georgia has a great idea. Teach an actual bible class in High School, with "statewide guidelines and earmark public dollars" This is just a bad, bad idea. One, I think this version is un-constitutional, it goes much farther than allowing a bible study club to use a room after school. And two, how can anyone think its a good idea to allow teachers and state bureaucrats to determine how to teach religion to students? Third I can only imagine the pandora's box (quick nod to Greek religion, no... "mythology") that this move, if (when) the Supreme Court upholds it. Does every faith get a publicly funded bible class? What about sub-groups? Will there be a Babtist class and a Greek Orthodox class? What about the Wicans? With all the cuts being made to classes, art, music, PE, they're going to increase something that can and should be taught by parents and churches? Genius. Do you really want a union teacher teaching your child religion? Everyone loses here, everyone.

For all those who wish to bring church and state together, there just isn't a worse idea floating around today than this.
