Two articles of interest from the DhimmiWatch website:
"Atlanta, GA, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Muslim students in Georgia's largest school district would be excused for Friday prayer under an agreement between Muslim leaders and school officials."
And another on a similar situation in the Delaware public schools...
Atlanta, GA, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- "Muslim students in Georgia's largest school district would be excused for Friday prayer under an agreement between Muslim leaders and school officials."
"With the help of the Council on American-Islamic relations this year, Rashied renewed his request and, after going to Wednesday's meeting, is confident a solution would be reached by Monday." The Council of American-Islamic Relations, (CAIR)
In Delaware...
From delawareonline... "A day after Muslim students at Bancroft Intermediate School were told they could not pray in school and had to sit in the cafeteria at lunch despite fasting in observance of Islam's holy month of Ramadan, one child was allowed Friday to go to a private room to pray."...
"Shaida Fennell said that her son, Hashim, 12, was escorted by a teacher to a private room twice during the day so he could pray. He also was not forced to remain in the lunchroom with other students, she said."
Oh, I get it. There's only supposed to be separation of CHURCH and state, not MOSQUE and state. I'm happy this has been cleared up.
This PC-crap doesn't happen in my school district. If we Christians and Jews aren't allowed to bring our religions into school, no damned Muslim will, either.
I'm glad that's been cleared up for us too. Another attack on America and I don't see the policies of these schools surviving the light of day.
Apparently...
Let the kid stay home during Ramadan. We let Christian Kids off at Christmas. Jewish Kids celebrate Hannaka. Let the Arabs stay home that day. whats the big deal?
Ridiculous.
How about just focusing on teaching the basics and discipline? The government schools are so out of control.
Catholics should start demanding their children get out of school for the Saint's days of observance( and that would be everyday.)Let the fun begin!
This should be obvious to everyone by now...sadly, it is not.
Kerry and the new dhimmicrats.
They will take over this country in increments, Christan's should demand a chapel be in every school so they have an opportunity to pray in a designated area. The alleged separation of church and state is flexible, for the liberal America haters.
I think muslim students should be forced to view the dismembered bodies of women and children that their death cult is responsible for.
Ramadan is a month long...
This is clearly---clearly---unconstitutional.
I am getting sick and tired of us bending over backwards for these Muslims.
As the student groups in government schools start to Balkanize into conflicting ethnic and religious factions, I have an even better suggestion: Gimme back my tax money and I'll use it to send my kid to private school.
In light of this, should we not allow for Christian, Jewish, Hindu children to also be excused for the same time in order for them to attend religious instruction?
I completely agree with your comments.
"Catholics should start demanding their children get out of school for the Saint's days of observance( and that would be everyday.)Let the fun begin!"
What a great idea! The observance of holy days of obligation is just that, lawful obligation. Not optional.
With All Saints Monday, and All Souls Tuesday, which by the way in our parish has masses continuously observed from 9 until noon, we should start demanding our rights.
After all, Islam is considered.
