What a relief - a North Carolina judge has allowed students at UNC to continue reading about the Qur'an. But I don't really like the reasoning. "The court finds that ... a student who elects not to read the book is not penalized in any way by the university," Tilley said to a courtroom of about 40 reporters and spectators. "This simply is not a religious exercise or activity," he said. So, what then? Does that mean that if the book were required in a course that it could be found illegal? Better toss out that C.S. Lewis, then.
