The Crackers Did It

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Public school students will be able to take state-funded courses devoted to the Old and New Testaments under a bill that received final legislative approval Monday, making Georgia the first state in the nation to legally sanction Bible classes.

"I am confident that the course will pass constitutional muster," Senate Majority Leader Tommie Williams (R-Lyons) said after the Senate approved his proposal 45-2. "We cannot live in fear of possible lawsuits every time we pass a piece of legislation."
