Theoretically, that’s true–as an elective in the secondary schools. The Texas Freedom Network has done lots of work on various curricula–some fairly OK & others braindead Fundamentalist. Study up.
The course mentioned in the OP begins in the first grade. A student wants to skip it? OK, she can sit on the Group W bench. It’s a stupid idea & I hope the courts end it.
The issue is when people make claims based purely on the foundation that we were established as a purely christian country.
While it is an informal fallacy, proof by repeated assertion, when this patently false proposition is repeatedly restated regardless of contradiction or contrary evidence is an effective form of rhetoric.
My point is that it’s not the content of the tome being studied, but the content of the course. The idiot fundamentalists will never outgrow their hysterical attempts to indoctrinate all students. Also certain anti religious folks will always say that any religious book cannot be studied in a school. Of course the fundies in question here are teaching their religion.
Yeah, that’s blatantly teaching religion and it’s also setting kids up for bullying when their parents opt them out.
