Re: “Louisiana indoctrinating students in Christianity” (Page A6, June 25).
In a recent contribution about displaying the Ten Commandments in schools, David Herlich states, “Louisiana enthusiastically passed a law designed to convert every schoolchild in the state to Christianity.” He then built on that wobbly foundation by asking, “I wonder how people would feel if the Quran was required to be posted in large font in every classroom?”

That’s clearly apples to oranges. If I were in a country where the Quran was a major cornerstone of its very existence, I would certainly expect and accept references to it in public places. I would not see it as trying to convert me to anything at all.
California’s state education code says, “Nothing in this code shall prevent, or exclude from public schools, references to religion, or to literature or displays having religious significance.” Why not more, not less, displays of our national heritage?
