How likely is it that such a class would be taught in an unbiased manner, in a place like Kentucky? I suspect we'd see a whole lot of Christian teachers use it to promote their particular flavor of Christianity, and Christian administrators would help them do it.

Even so, I'd be willing to take the risk for a proper World Religions class. The Bible Literacy class is just a cover for preaching in school.
