its minutia. a lot of people dont like arguing such details. but if you must know, lets say bible in this sense encompases creation as described in the Judeo-Christian traditions.

You misinterpret me. I read the posts in this topic, and half of the people think you'll be giving storytime. I just wanted to clarify for people that didn't understand.
You would not be able to do this. I can say that right now. For one simple reason.
There is much to discuss on this topic. Teachers would have to understand the holy books very, very thoroughly. This is where the problem arises.
What teacher, who has been around 10+ years, would want to recertified for an addition so large? Might as well have a religion class.
Additional conflicts I see so far:
1. Not teaching the views of every possible religion. What if my religion wasn't taught? I would be very ticked off and would bring in the legal team.
2. What if a teacher misrepresented something from the holy books? A student might take offense to her interpretation and sue.
I love God. However, I want everyone else to love whomever they love without being pressured into loving my God. If they'd voluntairly join a religion class, that's one thing. If they're forced to learn of something in a mandatory science class and then have their faith shaken, I would cry.
