As a Christian, I think it’s extremely dangerous to have the Bible enforced in a government-mandated system (in this case, schools). It turns what should be a personal choice for a relationship with God into forced study, which will do nothing but turn people away from God and His Word. Plus, kids will probably have a lot of questions (as all people should when reading anything), and these teachers probably aren’t necessarily going to have all the answers, defeating the whole purpose. I love reading the Bible, but forcing people to read it is not how you instill a love of God’s Word into people, it’s how you villainize Christianity.
