No I do not. However, to be fair, the Bible is being used in one elective ELA course offering.
The course that is being offered is an elective, Biblical Literature. The Bible is being studied as literature, not historical fact. There isn't a sermon or homily and this isn't a "church service". I have spoken to the teacher. I have viewed the syllabus and my youngest (who is a senior) decided without input from me to take this course. As long as classes continue like this -- electives that use the Bible for its characters, settings, plots, symbolism, rhetorical and poetic concepts, etc. (all proper literature standards) I have zero issues with this being offered in our high school.
