HB 1491 requires Tennessee public schools to teach the Bible in K-12

WATCH: â€œWhereâ€™s my kid gonna go, Gino? Heâ€™s in Kindergarten.â€

Rep. Gino Bulsoâ€™s HB 1491 requires Tennessee public schools to teach the Bible in K-12 â€” he defends it by saying parents can â€œopt outâ€, but doesnâ€™t seem to have thought through what that actually means for young kids.

Bulso bill would put prayer, Bible reading back in schools...

25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any ,dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired.

27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

It seems that Davy was a high achiever and gave Saul 200 foreskins instead of a measly 100.
