What bothers me so much about teaching a class like this, or anything related to the Bible, in public school is that it's going to leave out other religions and, in my opinion, that endorses the religions it includes over those it excludes -- which is completely inappropriate for public school. Why can't these things be taught by religious institutions -- why do people feel the need to include them in public school curriculum?
The above applies only to elementary, middle, and high schools -- I'm not going to object to anything taught in college.
