Legislation of Biblical Proportions: Can We Really Have an 'Academic' Study of the Bible in Public Schools?

"Is it not fear mongering to ban discussion of the Bible in schools?"



then it should be in the context of existing social studies courses, including history and civics.



if the Bible itself is to be studied, it should be done alongside the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita (or the whole Mahabharat­a), the Upanishads­, the Mumonkan, the Confucian Analects and other texts. maybe even the unwritten religions of so-called 'pagan' societies, such as different American Indian nations, African & Asian cultures, etc.



i don't necessaril­y find "rich traditions­" in a book soaked in blood, not counting slavery, misogyny, and more. traditions­, maybe, but the only ones who got 'rich' were the priests and rulers.
