Education doesn't violate Separation

[Accountable]

I don't understand objections to a class such as this one. Isn't there a point where "separation" becomes censorship?

Public High Schools Across Country Consider Elective Bible Literacy Class

High schools across the nation are considering an elective course in Bible literacy. That's pitting advocates of church-state separation against proponents of the class who say their mission is purely scholarly.



Lawmakers in Alabama and Georgia in the past few weeks have introduced legislation clearing the way for their high schools to offer the course, which is based on the textbook The Bible and Its Influence.



The book's publisher, the Fairfax, Va.-based Bible Literacy Project, says about 300 school districts are considering the course, which covers the Old Testament, followed by both Jews and Christians, and the New Testament, the story of Jesus and his disciples.

It's an elective course, I do not see the big deal. I think some people just like to gripe to hear their voices.
