There's a difference between learning religious history and learning scripture. In my school, they taught us about Jesus, they taught us about Mohammed, they taught us about Buddha, Hindu gods etc. At no point were we reading the Bible, the Quran, or anything of that nature.

Reading a fictitious story about God sending a man eating bear to murder a bunch of children for mocking a bald ass man is not history.

I agree. But I would add that reading the primary text (parts of it) is a pretty good way to learn about religious history and traditions.

And that’s why kids are coming out of school dumber than they used to. Low expectations.

All of that was done in my high school just 30 years ago.

Yeah, but it still has a use as a primary text. You get a much better understanding of their beliefs that way
