Democrats in Georgia push for Bible class in schools

The plan of offering an elective course on the Bible--its influence on literature, art, music, culture, and politics, of course--is alive again in Georgia, brought to you by a group of Democrats who suddenly think it's a dandy idea.

Republicans say the Democrats are simply pandering to faith-based voters in an election year. No kidding.

One of my fantasies is that these courses are offered, and how will anyone possibly get away with teaching the Bible's influence on literature, art, and culture? Because that person would have to teach metaphor and parable and analogy, and oh my god...what do you mean, the burning bush is a symbol?!
