Interesting how this is a complete reversal of what used to happen. Also, I think suing because you have to read a book about the Quran is completely ridiculous. Part of education is learning about things that you might not necessarily agree with; it (hopefully) teaches you tolerance when you are more educated about where people are coming from. It's not like these students were going to be forced to convert to Islam once they started college.

I completely agree that suing isn't the answer, and that learning something that's outside your thought process is what college is all about.
My favorite professor was VERY liberal, and he knew my opinions. When I needed a professor to back me up on a matter, he was the first one to defend me.
