I could not figure out how to post this photo (sorry), but my wife dropped my kid off at his summer school yesterday and there was a bulletin board full of posters that read "Ramadan Mubarak." She took a picture of it today and sent it to me. She knew Ramadan was a religious holiday and asked me for it's meaning. It essentially means "Blessed month" and is also used as a greeting. She called the administrative office for the district first thing this morning and she said the woman she spoke to was horrified and very adamantly stated they are not to post anything like it. She is going to talk to the people on site when she picks him up this afternoon, and I told her we need to get names. Someone in a position of authority okayed this crap, and we cannot be satisfied with them just removing it. We will be following up with letters to the Department of Education here in Arizona.
The way that they do it, I’d also say not hard at all. They usually get up before sunrise and eat as much as they can and then the minute the sun is down, they do it again. At least that’s how my husband’s former assistant (muslim woman) told him her family does it.
When you live close to the equator, the daze of Summer are not much longer than the daze of Winter. Not sure how Islam works in northern Norway.
While there are rare exceptions, a man or woman does not become a government school teacher in or principal of a government school today without passing political, ideological muster with the largely socialist/liberal educrats above him/her.
I picked up my grandson at his high school several times before the 2008 election. Nearly EVERY car in the teachers’ parking lot sported an OBAMA bumper sticker! Some were PLASTERED with them.
On one occasion AFTER the election, I had to pick him up in the Principal’s office. As I waited for him, the Principal came out of her office and asked who I was. (At all of 4-5” tall, she looked just like Robert Reich’s sister and the liberal/socialist she was. Actually, she looked like a bleeping troll!) I told her who I was and remarked on the student created anti-drug posters decorating the walls in the hallway.
Yes, she said, drugs are a problem in the schools today. I agreed and, recognizing the truck-size opening she’d just afforded me and unable to hold back, I remarked that the American voters had sent a wonderful message to our kids by installing in the White House a guy who still smokes pot and used cocaine in college? To my delight, the nearby ARMED security guy piped in with “Yeah, he admitted it on the campaign trail.”
She paused then blurted “What do you want me to say to that?” I said there was nothing she COULD say but that I was blown away by the hypocrisy of those posters inasmuch as it appears that, if one uses the bumper stickers on the cars in the teachers’ lot as a gauge, every adult in that building voted for an admitted drug user to lead the nation.
We turned and walked out. My grandson glanced back and remarked quietly that she did not look happy.
We both smiled.
But I stopped smiling long ago when it struck me that unless this country does SOMETHING to halt this process, these places will continue to crank out sufficient newly minted mini-Marxists to cause us to some day — soon — look back on the corruption and destruction of obozo as the good old days!
Hello? Anybody out there? Anybody listening??
Their “separation of church and state” doesn’t only apply to Christians. Hammer them with it!
Intermittent fasting is probably actually healthy. IF! you eat NORMALLY the rest of the time.
But not if you gorge 150% of your daily calories in the few hours between the fasting.
I read somewhere that many muslims actually GAIN weight during Ramadan because of the gorging that goes on after the sun goes down.
They may fast during the daytime hours, but as soon as that sun goes down, it is a feast that awaits them. Yes, you heard me. Every night they have a feast! (This is what my husband was told years ago by a coworker, who is a practicing Muslim and had converted his wife from Catholicism so that they could raise their children in the Islamic faith.)
I dont see a problem with it. We live in Arizona where we still have some religious freedom. My children’s school proudly posts signs wishing everyone a merry Christmas, happy Easter, Hanukkah, and noone complains.
If we make a big deal out of this poster then we will see the end of the others.
We complain about it when they ban signs celebrating our holidays. We dont want to be hypocrites and call for a ban on theirs.
One of the worst things that is happening in the conservative movement is that we seem to be lowering ourselves to use the opposition’s tactics. We are becoming the other side of the same coin
This.
Then you type:
"img src=" (Do not include the quotation marks)
And then you put your link url after the equal sign.
And then you put a ">" after your link url.
That will cause the image to be displayed.
I cannot type it all out as an example, because the HTML system won't let you view it that way.
How’s that “Separation of Church and State” thingy working out? Obviously depends on the Church we are talking about.
It would be nice if FR posting had an “loadimage” function that would let you upload a file or point to a source link without going through the HTML minutiae.
Thanks!
Well, as my wife explained to the district employee on the phone, she would not have a problem with it if Christmas, Easter or Hanukkah greetings were allowed to be displayed. They are not. Allowing this to happen without any kind of response is tantamount to retreat to Islamization. My 3 cents.
Agree, then they could also control the SUZE of the upload rather than ruining great threads with an oversized pictures that makes the text too small to see in an iPad.
Nobody ever said anything about separation of mosque and state. And in the religion where they co-exist, there IS no separation.
Conditioning kids to accept our replacements.
