Gee, let me think........NO. I really hope that was just a sarcastic question and not real because if you actually meant it then you're a little nuts.

Whether the students are forced or not to study the Bible is irrelevant.
Science was born because of the hunger for knowledge to explain the Bible.
The earliest Scientists and Mathematicians were knowledgeable about the Bible, e.g. Rene Descartes, etc.
The Bible is literary in nature and written by people who wanted to expound their beliefs and experiences about God. The writers of the Bible did not envision to explain the Laws of Physics and Chemistry. They never intended to fathom the Atom, Molecules, Compounds, etc. They employ simile in their writings and used their observations about nature as their tools.
Science seeks to deal with the repeatability of a certain phenomenon. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a repeatable phenomenon.

Students can take their Bible lesson`s in Church . One should not be forced to do anything against his/her free will !! The students heart should direct him / her to the teachings of The Lord , not a "school " that would teach by worldly opinon and not by The Word !

It's all up to them if they want to take Bible lessons however, You can just read the Bible for free when you pick up a Bible for five bucks or so at a small store or go to Bible.com

It depends on ones area of study whether the Bible (Koran, or whatever) is required at the college level presently.

By the time they are in college, they should have a foundation under them that will not collapse under the weight of Atheist professors.
If they do not have enough Bible study before that, they wont survive.

If a person wants to live his life that way, more power to him. For the rest of us, we want to option of being able to think for ourselves.
Science is science. The Bible is religion. The two do not have to be compatible.

I am a Christian and I believe that NO ONE should be FORCED to take Bible study classes. They can have Bible study classes but not be forced to take them.
they should just teach creationism along side of evolution.

it was my college bible class that made me question, quite frankly. I went to a small, private, conservative Christian college because in high school, I was a fundamentalist. But between my college Bible class, and all the college Bible classes that my husband took that taught what the Bible REALLY said in original languages, we became much more moderate/liberal.

No. But you should have been forced to take a science class somewhere along the way. Don't worry though; you won't be able to graduate from high school without it - you'll get there eventually.

as a Christians, I would say no.
It should be the other way around. People should study the Bible and prove scientific findings.
