Sandra--Just read in the recent Reader's Digest that Texas legislators have cleared the way for schools to teach--not preach--the Bible, especially how it has influenced art, literature, and history. By fall 2009, all Texas high schools must teach a Bible-based curriculum in English or social studies courses or in a separate elective. I wish more schools would do this, simply as a elective. When I talk to students about Faulkner, Walker Percy, many of the "southern writers", Tolstoy and other Russian authors, Milton and other early writers, the students have no background to understand references to the Bible. Thought you, as an educator, would find this interesting. Keep up the good work. Joanne
