Idaho closed down a school for using the bible during history lessons.

Of course, leave to the FOX shits to come down on the wrong side of the issue.

Good! Although the bible is technically literature, it isn't history. Very little in the bible is historically accurate, and if it is, it has yet to be proven. I wouldn't have a problem with schools teaching it as myth, since that's the category of literature in which it belongs. Since there are still people who believe the bible is truth, we could never trust educators to use it in the classroom objectively. It just has no place in a public place of learning.

Why can't they just leave it out and teach it in elective Sunday school classes at private church? That way parents can decide if they want their children to know about it, and what they want their children to know about it. Makes sense!

Personally, if one of my children came home from school and said they had even seen a bible in their classroom, I would be furious. It isn't fair that the law says I have to send my children to a public school (since I can't afford a private one, and they're all religious anyway), and then they try to indoctrinate my child into the Christian cult. It's disrespectful, Un-American, and quite frankly, revolting to consider.

My social studies teacher always called it a historical document?

And therein lies the problem.
