I taught HS for 30 years, and I can tell you that the kids are smarter than you are.

They'll read the Bible, alright... they'll read it and have questions. Leviticus should be a load of fun for them.

The contrasts between what people think they know about the Bible, and the actual long, boring, contradictory, barbaric tome are readily apparent... especially to young, inquiring minds.

They are going to rue the day they had kids "study" the Bible.
