...”religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth”..
In our schools??? You mean where prayer is not allowed even on an individual basis?? Unless I’m misunderstanding the article...
You got it...when it comes to Muslims they get special treatment by those on the left.
I think they goofed. I am sure they meant "state run madrasses".
Many public K-12 schools teach/have students ‘pretend’ to be of islam for 1 week. This often includes reciting the statement of faith, the ‘shahada’ each day.

“BRENTWOOD, CA (ANS) — As children return to school this week, following the Christmas break, 7th graders in a growing number of public schools, who are not permitted to wear a cross or speak the name of Jesus, will be required to attend an intensive three week course on Islam; a course in which students are mandated to learn the tenets of Islam, study the important figures of the faith, wear a robe, adopt a Muslim name and stage their own Jihad.”

Note: References to what is happening about this 1-3 week practice are rather hard to locate on school websites/curriculum unless you are a parent/connected with the system. Search for yourselves.
