Tx School Board Ignores Arabic Connection to Slavery-Renames Other Schools
Breitbart Texas ^ | May 9,2016 | Lana Shadwick

Houston-The protest organizer at an Arabic Immersion Magnet School says it is ironic that the seventh largest school district in the U.S. is ignoring the Arabic culture’s “long and ongoing culture of enslavement” while stripping names off of schools of anyone connected with the Confederacy or slavery (and spending millions to do so).

The leader of “Stop the Magnet,” Liz Theiss, also said she does not understand why the school would reroute school buses and parent pick-up routes where protesters were playing the Islamic Call To Prayer.

Muslims were enslaving Africans for seven hundred years before the Europeans got involved in the slave trade.

Thirteen centuries of slavery, compared with three centuries for the US. And, it is still going on today.

BINGO-I am just now learning more about this and it speaks to the intentional use of the issue of historical omission to tie slavery to white males. If you read the story all the way you will also learn about the ISIS fatwa against American dogs & puppies.
Pretty funny that a school that is contracted with Qatar to promote Arabic culture has to duck and cover when they hear the call to prayer.

More like ~89 years for the US, and only part of the country at that.

Before 1776 it was all on the Brits. ;)

A broke clock - Whoopi Goldberg once said she’s glad for US slavery because it let her live in the US. Said she had been to Africa and they can have it.

When was the last time that Houston had a sane mayor or chief of police?

I keep seeing places like Texas and NC and Georgia in articles that should be referring to NYC.

I am greatly concerned if the south has succumbed to the PC insanity.

4 ever...this is related to skillful maneuvering of ME cash into a broke and corrupt school board. There is not a single sane person on the school board and many cities are in the same boat.
