I'm skeptical of slippery slope in regards to religious influence in public schools. Otter is a religious conservative but is generally saner than his southern brethen. There doesn't seem to be mandatory field trips to mosques or creationism in science or anything of that nature.
This seems okay.
explicitly allows it to be used as a historical reference though, which is almost as bad.
Evergreen has a good point. English class is probably the only place it should be allowed, and even then, it should be acknowledged as a book, no different from
Catch-22, and not as the definitive word of God.
