Ah, the irony...

Islam reading assignment draws fire

The lawsuit against UNC was filed July 22 in U.S. District Court in Greensboro, N.C., by the Virginia-based Family Policy Network, which calls itself a socially conservative Christian educational organization.

The suit contends that it is unconstitutional for a publicly funded university to require students to study a specific religion.

In light of evangelicals' support of school vouchers and insisting that the phrase "under God," (added in 1954) is now inseparable from the Pledge of Allegiance, this stance seems ironic if not hypocritical.
