Nobody in Odessa is going to take a world religion course on the Koran or any other religious texts.
Moreover, nobody could teach it well. I don't have a problem with some Christians teaching other Christians Bible if they want to.
That's the problem with schools, the teachers.
Personally, I'm a Nader liberal and a Texas native, and what you said about Texas being a poor southern state is ridiculously off the mark. Sure, in some areas the inhabitants might be, but the state itself is not poor.
