FRANKFORT, Ky. (WDRB) -- Public schools in Kentucky can soon teach reading, writing and the book of Revelation.
At the Capitol on Tuesday, Gov. Matt Bevin gave his public “Amen” to a bill allowing Bible courses in public schools.
The bill's sponsor says students need to understand the role the Bible played in American history.
“It really did set the foundation that our founding fathers used to develop documents like the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights," said Rep. D.J. Johnson (R-Owensboro). "All of those came from principles from the Bible."
The ACLU of Kentucky said it’s concerned about how the law might be used in schools.
“A Bible literacy bill that, on its face, may not appear to be unconstitutional, could in fact become unconstitutional in its implementation,” said Advocacy Director Kate Miller.
“It really did set the foundation that our founding fathers used to develop documents like the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights," said Rep. D.J. Johnson

So they're changing history to suit their agenda...
Stupid. Separation of Church & State, is that so hard to understand?

I object entirely to the passage of this measure.
Christs message should not be dirtied by being attached to an education establishment of any nature.

I have no issue with schools teaching the impact of religious texts on the cultures and politics of our history.
The texts should not be taught, only their influence on society.

Well this is gonna find its way to court pretty quick. The only question is will it be the ACLU or the Satanists that make the first move.

The schools in Texas won't even hire non Christian teachers and the administration checks your social media to see if you
"measure up"
