But, I tend to wonder what other sorts of priorities this ISD has... how much funding goes towards Football and cheerleading over music, debate, and Academic Decathlon? Texas has some of the best public school districts in the nation -- I'm a beneficiary of some of them. And some of the worst. I don't see the best ones implementing a Bible-only elective... they'd most likely offer History and Literature of Religion.

As they should. The Bible has no place in public schools, unless it is also being presented along with the Torah, Talmud, Quran and other religious frippery. Why do Xtians need the government to back their religion so badly? Is your faith so shallow your government must visibly support your beliefs? “No doubt the ACLU will get into the act soon.”
