I wonder if you'd be allowed to read some other passages in addition to the required ones?

Like the part where the one prophet has God summon a bear from the woods to maul like one or two dozen kids because they called him bald.

Or the part where the Israelites convince another group of people that they want to make peace and convince them to get circumcized as a sign of good will, then they massacre them all while the men are recuperating from the circumcisions, and God is basically like "good one!"

There are a lot of illuminating passages that would help kids make a proper judgment as to whether the Bible is really the product of an omniscient, benevolent being.
