In Rochester MN the school system has a new charter school that caters to the somali's in the area, so they won't feel like 'outcasts' because of their dress and religious beliefs. The articles seem to imply that their parents think the general population is to corrupting and that they aren't excepted by the other children ... etc etc etc .... They have had rooms set aside for prayers for years. Also there is now a Somali boy scout troop.
Personally I don't think I should have to fund a school which is based on their religion. and this is really a religious school, even if it goes by the 'charter' school title.
excepted = accepted
