This doesn't sound okay. Public school shouldn't be teaching religion.

It's really the requirement part that bothers me the most. An elective class that teaches the Bible ... okay, but only so long as you've also got an elective class that teaches Shakespeare, which is really the kind of thing that public school should be about.

But requiring schools to have it? There's no way that's not preferential treatment to one religion.
