Beginning next school session general assembly Senator Bingham introduce a bill S138 [Filed]
To educate on new and old testament. The bill also specifies that the course would have to maintain "religious neutrality." Students could learn about the characters, poetry and content of the Bible as well as its "history, style, structure and societal influence."

Religious neutrality, like that going to happen. What about the other religions like Jewish, Buddhism, Islamic. What about the agonist, and atheists.
I am ok if your going to teach history and characters of all religions, since its an elective then it would be a choice but this is about as much of waste of precious education as Greek mythology was to me.

Lets put a Jihad in team work and brighten minds of North Carolina students and keep religion out out of schools.
I hope the Governor doesnt rubber stamp every bill.

I would be.....OK......with a religious studies class, that would go over the four/five large religious groups (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism) and some of the smaller ones.

But to spend money we don't have on this crap? Are you serious? Sure, we don't need to fund another vocational, computer, science, math class. We have PLENTY of those.

Yeah, jobs, jobs, jobs, & if anyone believes that at this point. . .

This was settled in the 50's. If they pass it, the ink from McCrory's rubber stamp won't be dried before it's in court. This is a great way to waste money. . .but yet, we don't have money top pay the federally mandated unemployment.

They forgot to add to the bill carry concealed permits for the teachers wanting to carry a pistol in school.

I might could support this initiative if the class was designed to teach kids about all the bad things people do in the name of the Bible.

I can remember 4th grade in Charlotte, we would memories the books of the bible (only). It was a tool, nothing more.

If that is what they were planning, I would have no problem with that. It hurt no one and it helped many

Hey, I got an idea.....

How about I teach my kids about our religion, and my neighbor can teach his kids about theirs.
