Bibles in Schools... Redux

This just in, courtesy of Worldwide Religious News: Bulgaria wants religion in the schools.

More than 85% of the students and 70% of the adults interviewed by pollster Alfa Research said they wanted such a class. Three quarters of the interviewees said it should focus on informing about religions, while half of the respondents said it should be optional.

The wide majority of interviewees also believe the class should be taught by qualified teachers, rather than clergymen. Such a class could help check juvenile delinquency, aggression and drug use, according to the survey's respondents.


Me, I think the timing is fishy. I think the Bulgarians are just looking to exporti last years exam questions to Georgia High School students - a time-honored cottage industry.
