MASON, Ohio (AP) -- Northeast of Cincinnati, school officials in Mason have taken some heat after two Muslim boys were offered a separate room during the lunch hour.
Superintendent Kevin Bright says it was a "fasting room." He says their parents didn't want the two high school students to have to watch classmates eat while they were fasting for Ramadan.
But school board member Jennifer Miller calls it a "prayer room." At a board meeting earlier this week, she protested, saying America is a Christian nation, not a Muslim nation.
And, a Mason parent said if one group is allowed to pray in school, everyone else should be, too.
The superintendent notes that the two students never even used the room but went to the library during lunch.

I believe I said I 75 just
WEST of Mason. Having spent the first third of my life in Cincinnati, I know 75 from 71. Mason is indeed on 71. The mosque
is along side of I 75 clearly seen from the road in either direction. On a windy day Superman could spit to Mason and Kings Island from the mosque. The point was, though I doubt you're interested, was I suspect there are quite a few muzzie kids in the public schools around there. Giving them special religious slack seems odd in a country that
thinks there is separation of Church and state.
Probably still don't get it huh!

"This is a chr*stian nation!" is just the conservative version of the old leftist motto "Deze are de wayz of our pipples." It implies relativism. Yep.
