Yes, Montini says, we need Bible classes, for . . .

by David Safier

E. J. Montini begins with satire, then leaves it to simply tell the truth. Here's how his column begins.

An Arizona legislative committee last week approved a bill to create an elective high-school class called "The Bible and its Influence on Western Culture," a divinely inspired proposal that needs only two minor changes.

First, the class should not be elective but mandatory. Second, it should not be taught to high-school students but to legislators.

Can I get an "Amen!"?

The rest of the column is chapter and verse, literally, teaching legislators what the Bible says and how it contrasts with what they do. Brilliant.
