Teach the Bible: #1 priority on GOP education agenda

In his announcement on Thursday, Mr. Walters called the Bible “a necessary historical document to teach our kids about the history of this country, to have a complete understanding of Western civilization, to have an understanding of the basis of our legal system.” 

“Every teacher, every classroom in the state will have a Bible in the classroom, and will be teaching from the Bible in the classroom,” he said. 

In some states, the Bible has been taught as part of specific classes, and is generally seen to be allowed as a historical text, or alongside other religious texts or literature. But few other states, if any, have issued such a broad requirement.
