Georgia Puts Bibles In Schools
Once again lawmakers are trying to get religion in public schools. Georgia lawmakers have approved funding for elective bible classes.
(Reuters)"Are we to say that the world's best seller, a book that has influenced Western culture more than any other, is off limits to kids?" Georgia Sen. Tommie Williams, the measure's chief sponsor, told Reuters, adding that he was concerned about biblical illiteracy among students. "If you asked a kid what the Good Samaritan Law means, there's a history behind that that they probably don't know."If I lived in Georgia, I wouldn't want my tax $$$ going to teaching religion in a public school. Do you think the would be for spending their tax $$$ and teaching Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism in public schools?
