Georgia Considers Bible as Textbook

Georgia would become the first to require its Department of Education to put in place a curriculum to teach the history and literature of the Bible. Schools would use the book itself as the classroom textbook. Specifically the bill would establish electives on both the New and Old Testaments.

It has overwhelmingly passed both chambers, but needs a final vote on a minor House change. The vote is expected as early as Monday. If it passes, the state's Department of Education has a year to establish Bible elective courses in the curriculum.

While I have no problem with teaching the Bible, which is firmly entrenched in literature and life, I do have a problem with it being mandated by the state. Funny how the right loves all walls except Mr. Jefferson's wall.
