They could teach it along with Greek mythology.

There is no need to teach the Bible in public schools, not all of the students are Christians. I think that the Bible is best taught in Sunday Schools. Greek Mythology is an academic subject that should not be mixed with religious beliefs.

They offer sex education at school and parents can fill out the form to opt out; why not do the same thing with the bible?
Yes, it should be taught in public school. And I'm tired of people saying that everyone paid for public school; are you saying that Christians did not pay for it? Are we invisible? What happen to our rights? They took the bible out of school, out of court, what next? We all should vote.

No. Reading the bible is a personal choice. And I see this tactic only being used as a way to destoy all other religions and convert everyone to Christianity. This would take away all the religious freedom we ahve spent so many years creating.

You know the answer to that. The Word of God is to be taught initially while sitting on your parents lap, and then, when you get older at their feet. When you can hold the Word in your own hands, then you can start reading it together with them.
You then can take this knowledge to school with you and all will see the light of the wisdom you possess.><>

Yes, if they are going to teach evolution they should teach creation from the Bible. It's only right. That's what is wrong with this world today. They have taken God, the Bible and prayer out of schools.
For those of you fussing about the separation of church and state, that is to keep the state out of the church and making decisions for the church, not to keep the church out of the state and making decisions on the state. Look it up.

Considering that it is a required text in college (since most believe you read the Bible in high school) could change that. After all, atheists don't have to believe it if they don't want to. And don't give me that BS about Separation of Church and State, I had to sit through Biology and Evolution.

Yes, so long as it is properly placed in it's historical and cultural context. Not only should it be teached, so should the tenets of Islam, Buddhism, and all of the major religions, how they've changed over time, and so on. However, it should not be used as an indoctrinal tool.

College is alright but not in public schools. Where would school districts draw the line on studying various religious books of faith?

Only if presented along with other holy texts and myths, as to give the children a well-balanced perspective.

Yes, if they teach Darwinism. Teaching it with mythology is a good idea. But that wouldn't be possible, because atheists would have a fit.
