There is an open thread on the question of Sacred Studies as part of general public education
here.
I personally favor having Sacred Studies as part of the general education simply because religion does have and has had such a great influence on history. I know that in my case, having classes that pointed out the inconsistencies found in the Bible, that exposed me to other religious and philosophical systems, had a very large influence both in my beliefs and in strengthening those beliefs.
I wounder if some of our more vocal Christians here at EvC would let me teach a Bible Study class to their kids?
