Seperation of Church and State, fucknuts. Keep that shit out of public schools.
Edit: Because I have about 30 replies going "its optional tho!":
The establishment clause forbids the government from supporting one religion over another. Public schools are paid for by taxes, so this bible study class violates constitutional law becuase the school is not also offering equally funded classes on all other religions, as the establishment clause demands. Its all relgious representation, or none. Being optional is irrelevant.
For the ones claiming Separation of Church and State doesn't exist:
Reynolds v US, 98 US 145 in 1878 was the first mention of a seperation and the groundwork was formed.
Everson v Board of Education 330 US 1 in 1947 it was hardline cemented in constitutional law with the following quote: "The First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state. That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach."
It was further reinforced in Engel V Vitale 370 US 421 in 1962, where the court decided that a public school forcing a child to pray was unconstitutional, quoting Jefferson's letter directly in their determination.
It has been ruled as official constitutional law by the Supreme Court, based largely on arguments made by Jefferson in historical documents.
Maybe now I'll get less people giving the same, incorrect arguments.

I'm just gonna point out that a 'comeback' is a return to the lead. A 'turn back' is literally a turn backwards.
