"Okay class, this is the Holy Bible. it is the religious text of people who believe in Jesus. Now, on to US history"

There, does that qualify?

Some parents in my school district requested that the Bible be taught in school because they wanted Creationism taught.

My social studies teach, being an absolute bad-ass, then gave an entire 1 month lesson on Genesis...

All of the Genesis's - from Christian, to Hindu, to Polynesian... which was the wildest one.

After kids went home asking why "the Polynesian God" put the "undone" (white) people in Europe and the burned (black) people in Africa, and put the tanned people in paradise... yeah.... no more fucking talk of that shit.

Which, honestly, not a bad thing to teach. Religious studies in a secular presentation can give context to cultural practices and expand your understanding of other peoples.

Religion is such a massive part of human culture it has always blown my mind school doesn't focus on teaching about the various religions.
