Here is a little news from my home state.
This is from an Associated Press story...
Literature and History of the Old Testament Era and Literature and History of the New Testament Era were on a list of classes the Georgia Board of Education voted to add to the state's curriculum Thursday.
The Bible already is incorporated into some classes in Georgia and other states. But education analysts say last year's legislation made Georgia the first state government to take an explicit stance endorsing, and funding, Bible teaching.
I have to admit, I am not sure how I felt about this story. I certainly think that our schools should allow a honest discussion of ideas and shouldn't deliberately exclude material just because it is deemed "religious" or "Christian". But at the same time I don't feel compelled to fight the battle to put the Bible or Bible-related curriculum in the classroom. Read the whole article and tell me what you think.
