Southern state Georgia has stepped out of the boundaries and now offerers a religious based class to be taken during school. Two literature classes (History of the Old Testament Era and History of the New Testament Era) will be incorporated into the curriculum. The Bible has been part of the lessons in Georgia and other states but things have became more in-dept, some are even saying that the state is treading into "dangerous turf." The Constitution states freedom of religion but many relate it the separation of state and church.
Senate Majority Leader Tommie Williams, the Republican who sponsored the plan, said the Bible plays a major role in history and is important in understanding many classic literary works.
"It's not just 'The Good Book,'" Williams said. "It's a good book."
Georgia has set a polity to endorse and fund Bible classes statewide while using the U.S. Constitution as their defense. The Legislature approved their bill only making sure that the courses didn't wonder off into religious teachings.
