Cowboys are not big fans of political correctness. Oklahoma is still a land where cowboys ply their trade. Some of them reside in the state legislature. Some non-PC legislators look a gift horse in the mouth.

A handful of lawmakers have asked not to receive a Quran being given to legislators at the Capitol by the Governor’s Ethnic American Advisory Council in honor of the state’s centennial.
Marjan Seirafi-Pour, chairman of the council, said Tuesday 17 lawmakers have asked to be removed from the list of those receiving Qurans.
