"And I think children need to hear the Primordial Truth of the Dark Gods of the Warp!"

It's not a club, it's an actual elective course that students can take to fulfill part of their graduation requirements.

Art Vandelay:
Given that they have to know full well that this ain't gonna fly, I can't help but think this is really just meant to polarise and/or distract people. Am I just being paranoid, or am I right to assume that they're going to try and quietly slip through something that fucks over everyone while all of the attention is on a religious pissing match?

Kanzenkankaku:
An elective course is a lot more reaching than a club would be, but it might survive a challenge considering electives are optional. They'll definitely run into trouble if they ever deny an elective on Quran study or comparitive religions though.

It could still cause trouble for some schools if they offer only the absolute minimum necessary to graduate (lack of funding) and one of them is this Bible course--the course effectively becomes non-elective for students at that school.

Also depends on how it's taught: if it's "Bible as literature" it'll might survive; if it's proselytization it won't, even if it's an elective.

So if I went forward with that mad plan, I'd have to come up with a freaking Chaos Curriculum.

It'd be a ton of work, but it sounds like an absolute blast.
