A bill in Florida that would require public high schools to have a class teaching the Bible advance through its first subcommittee.

If the bill passes through the legislature, all public high schools in Florida would have to offer the class as an elective, not a requirement, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

While the bill advanced, members of the House PreK-12 Quality subcommittee voiced their concerns about the controversial piece of legislation, specifically questioning whether the bill would follow its section title "An objective study of religion."
