It wasn't billed as "religious" education, it was supposed to be an Advanced Placement (that is, a college-level class being offered to high schoolers who'd finished the high school levels) history class that had a textbook stating, not implying or mealymouthing around, that the bible stories about jesus were historical, and citing passages as fact, while islam and judaism were not treated as historically factual but as global phenomena which people studying history should know about.

Also, this is the free and obligatory education being offered all children in my city, I didn't pay my money and I shouldn't have had to correct this kind of crap in their textbook.

I remain absolutely bloody appalled, even if I don't proofread well.

Bill, if I ran / stood for office, I'd be run out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered. I live in Virginia.

Not to be mistaken with its neighbor, West By God Virginia.
