From NPR this morning, more whining from right-wing Christian groups to the effect that required readings on the subject of the Koran will have the effect of proselytizing Islam to good, decent, god-fearing, blond-haired, blue eyed American youths.

Strangely, they seem to voice no such fear when curricula include books on Judeo-Christian heritage and holy texts. Rather, they insist that such studies are healthy and do nothing to attempt to convert others; they're just intended to educate and inform.

How I loathe this kind of hypocrisy.
