Bible courses not so popular

Few Georgia high schools offer non-devotional Bible courses two years after the state made them legal. Two years ago, Georgia became the first state in the nation to allow publicly funded Bible courses. But only 37 of Georgia's 440 high schools offered the courses last school year. Educators say students are not interesting in the courses. Other school districts have shied away from offering them out of fears of lawsuits.
