Hell, the only thing that you really do learn of the Bible in public school is that Jesus of Nazareth was born in 4 BC, and executed by the Roman government in mid 20s AD. Or have they even taken that much out of World History textbooks?
EDIT: Guys, I said "World History," not "American/US History," you're not going to find Christ mentioned in the latter.
Wait, what? They don't teach the formation of civilized hunter/gatherer society in Mesopotamia? How all sorts of early societies formed around rivers (the Themes, the Nile, etc.)? Notable leaders of said societies in history? The Caesars? The Louis? Marie "let them eat cake" Antoinette?
I don’t remember the Bible ever being taught in public school.

In response to your edit. Public schools in the US don't teach world history. That's why they're confused.

Not in highschool, and it's an elective in University.
