The ruling stems from a 1999 lawsuit in which parents claimed officials stopped them from handing out information that was critical of a district math program, said Superintendent Doug Otto.

Not sure that flies, distributing an article on a math program isn't the same as distributing religious doctrine. Which imo would be better confined to student clubs or groups.

For those who think it's a good idea, at offer, perhaps to be made at a school near you. Not to worry though, no intimidation.

Explore the Quran

In today’s climate of heightened religious sensitivities and apparent cultural clashes, now is the time for people of all faiths to better acquaint themselves with Islam’s sacred text, the Holy Quran.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) campaign intends to promote understanding of the Quran by distributing copies to people of faiths other than Islam in the American public. This campaign, titled Explore the Qur’an, serves as a response to those who would defame and desecrate the holy book of Muslims without full knowledge of its teachings.

False and uninformed accusations have been leveled against the Qur’an for some time. But now, this initiative places the sacred text directly in the hands of people of other faiths in the American public and encourages people of conscience to discover the truth about Islam. Explore the Qur’an allows the holy book to speak for itself and educate people of other faith traditions about the universal teachings of Islam.

For People of Faiths other than Islam:  To request your free copy of the Holy Quran, click here.

Muslims:  To donate to the Explore the Quran campaign, click here. By donating you will make it possible for a person of a faith other than Islam to receive the Quran.

For more information about the project, please write to us at: Quran Project, c/o CAIR, 453 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington DC, 20003. Please, provide your name, address, phone number, and email address.

Schools are already promoting Islam, and it 'ain't' private groups putting displays it the hallways. I'm sure you've heard of the schools that require their students to participate in Muslim religious practices as a 'learning' tool.

I see nothing wrong with a display of New Testaments in a school. Kids act stupid and rag on each other. It would happen regardless of displays or lack thereof.
