I spoke to a teacher in East Texas who has a Bible elective class. He states that the students enjoy the class a great deal.
Arizona proposes elective Bible course for high schools – USATODAY.com: "A state lawmaker has proposed legislation that would make Arizona the sixth state in the nation to allow school systems to offer a high-school elective course on the Bible. Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas already have laws allowing such classes.Maybe Arizona will influence other states to follow this trend of promoting the Bible to America's children.
Arizona law doesn't ban the use of the Bible, or any other religious document, as part of a public-school class curriculum as long as it is for academic purposes and does not involve sectarian ideas or religious devotion. But state Rep. Terri Proud, a Republican from Tucson, Ariz., said teachers and school districts still are often afraid to even discuss religion in their classrooms."
