There is currently a heated debate as well as lawsuit brewing in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Incoming Freshmen are "required" to read an assigned text upon entering the university. Instead of previous controversy free texts such as a book on the Civil War and a book on the Hmong immigrant's struggle with epilepsy and American medicine, UNC has decided that the freshmen need to read about the Qur'an. If we live in a world where a group of mental deficients will start up a petition to change the name of the next installment of the Lord of the Rings movie, how did a group of UNC administrators not see this coming a mile away? from the what-controversy-could-possibly-come-of-this dept. |
