Florida state legislators introduced a Bill that will require school districts to offer classes on religion and the Bible in state high schools, it was reported in February.

House Bill 195 requires ‘each school district to offer specified courses relating to religion, Hebrew Scriptures and the Bible to certain students as elective courses’.

Objective approach

Suggested classes include a course on Hebrew Scriptures and Old Testament and a course on the New Testament. Along with the study of the Bible, the Bill states that a ‘brief meditation period’ will also be allotted for students.
