As usual, the Devil will be in the Details.
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?

As usual, the Legislators simply showed their ignorance.
There is not even a single Canon in the Christian Church.

One thing that I think needs to be mentioned.
So far I can find no indication that this bill was enacted. It is a House Bill, has had it's required two readings, but there is no indication it passed or was even voted on. I don't see a corresponding Senate Bill.
