You need to read a little more carefully son.
They are trying to require an ELECTIVE class to be offered.
They are not forcing students to take the class, let alone believe in it. Just because my friend took an Intro to Islam class in college doesn't mean she now believes in the Islamic faith. The class is offered in a history style, education manner.

Bush isn't "from" Texas; it's his adopted state (he even went so far as to adopt it's accent in order to seem lahk a good ole bo-ah).
You need to include links to the relevant documents; this sounds wrong. I didn't know state constitutions could contradict the federal Constitution.
