Children are either going to learn about God in their homes first, or they're not. Going to schools with what's in store in mind isn't going to sway them much if any. Like others have said, looking at it as literary instead of religious. I'm a Christian and was brought up in a Christian family, then went to Catholic schools. My beliefs came from a combination but mainly from home. Afterwards I looked at what I learned and saw it made sense, so stayed with Christianity but not as a Catholic. I don't think just the Bible should be part of learning in schools but all types of books, as all have some merit. Buddhism has some good ideas, as does Islam, and again, most of what a child learns starts at home. When they're out in the world as adults they can choose whatever path they want to take. Like a previous poster has said, I also read the Bible a few times, along with hearing passages many times throughout churches of many denominations and in school. A lot helps in everyday life, as far as how to treat others and loving. There are Asians and Muslims in public schools in America and they also should be able to read from their own books. Lastly, the US was founded with God as a backbone. In God We Trust is still on our money. This won't change how most of Americans feel anyway, but it might give some information to all students in Texas that will help their lives.
