What I don't get is, why do they always make it into an unnessecary battle? Offer a class on the torah, offer one on the koran. If they would at least offer courses on other religions, that would go a long way. But they don't, so one can only assume they are trying to make a point and ram Jesus down the kids throats.
Kids need moral guidance. If we can get them reading and thinking about morality, regardless of the religon or belief system, it would improve our country.

First of all, that part of the country is predominantly Christian, so if they want to offer a class on the Bible they have the constitutional right to do so. What's wrond with it as long as it's an elective? Second, if there's any religion that's being 'rammed down kids' throats' it's
Islam . Do some research and you'll find out public schools are indoctrinating children into the 'religion of peace'. Of course, you won't find any mention of those stories in your biased MSNBC and Newsleak.
