The Holy Bible is now required reading in Texas schools.

Liberty Legal, a law-firm in Texas was instrumental in getting a law passed that will require all school districts to offer the history and literature of the Bible as an elective by the 2009-2010 school year. Liberty Legal’s Jonathan Saenez had this to say about their most recent legal victory:

“There are 1,300 references to the Bible in the works of Shakespeare alone. Over 60 percent of the allusions studied in [advanced placement] English come from the Bible. Students are going to be better academically and culturally when they hear about the Bible.”

Saenez went on to say that he didn’t expect this change in curriculum to affect enrollment for the Texas Bible Institute, His Hill Bible School, The Southwest School of Bible Studies, Hill Country Bible School (not to be confused with His Hill Bible School) or The Star Texas Bible School, in Waco. When asked if the new law was a violation of the First Amendment, Saenez said he wasn’t familiar enough with the amendment and would have no further comment.

Man, the law sure is blind in Texas…
