Hunting classes introduced in Virginia

The number of hunters is declining, being replaced by birdwatchers and
photographers. The heritage of hunting is becoming its own endangered
species. To generate more recruitment Virginia has introduced
"Hunting" to the classroom curriculum.

West Virginia, and they didn't "introduce" hunting classes
to the classroom, state lawmakers *allowed* schools to have
classes in schools where at least 20 students expressed an
interest.

Thanks for the clarification on the State name, I do that all the
time. My intention was to use 'introduction' in the same context as
the title of the NY Times article cited.

I just wrote a letter to the author of that article expressing my view
of the culture shift and some questions for the Mr. Page that he cited
in the article. I'll let you know an responses.

Your pal,
