It looks like a decent opportunity to debate on an avoided subject. Honestly as an atheist sophomore in High School, I'm excited to take this class.

Just another state improperly using their budget.

My limited mind interpreted the language of the bill to be useless. There is nothing to teach. I guess the most the class could be would be a comparative religion class. I’m I missing something?

No matter who writes the curriculum, an individual teacher could get up there and say just about anything. But at least the course is an elective and not required.
