And the rest of the teachers who were interviewed said he seemed so capable, so nice, so hard-working, blah, blah, blah. I'm beginning to think the public education system is populated with a bunch of very stupid and incompetent people who oughtn't be out in the real world without a keeper. And they're teaching our children.
“I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you! To find out that there has been jihading in our schools!”

The President signed H.R. 3767, The Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act on Monday, October 30, thereby enacting it into law. This bill makes the Visa Waiver Program permanent, and also includes provisions that extend the EB-5 pilot program for another three years, and eliminates the requirement of filing an amended H-1B petition in many corporate restructuring situations.
The President also signed on Monday H.R. 2883, the Child Citizenship Act, which automatically grants citizenship to certain foreign-born children (including adoptees) of U.S. citizens. On October 27, he signed H.R. 4681, which provides for the adjustment of status of certain Syrian Jews in the United States.
President Signs Bill to Ease Citizenship Requirements for Foreign Born Children
November 1, 2000
On Monday, President Clinton signed a bill that makes it easier for foreign-born children to acquire US citizenship. The law would grant automatic citizenship to any foreign born child when at least one parent is a citizen (whether by birth or naturalization), the child is under the age of 18, and the child is residing in the US in the legal and physical custody of the citizen parent pursuant to lawful permanent residence.
For foreign born children who do not meet these qualifications, parents may apply for naturalization on behalf of their child if at least one parent is a citizen (whether by birth or naturalization); the citizen parent has been present in the United States for a period totaling five years (two of which were after attaining the age of 14); the child is under the age of 18; the child is residing outside of the United States in the legal and physical custody of the citizen parent; and the child is temporarily in the United States pursuant to a lawful admission and is maintaining such lawful status.
The bill also includes a provision to provide a limited waiver for unlawfully voting in a US election, or making false claims of US citizenship. The waiver would apply to the criminal, deportation, and inadmissibility grounds.
These waivers are available only if each parent of the alien is or was a citizen (whether by birth or naturalization), the alien permanently resided in the United States prior to attaining the age of 16, and the alien reasonably believed that they were a citizen or were entitled to vote at the time that the violation occurred.
Thanks for posting. Excellent article. I was going to post if somebody else didn’t.
The WP spends more time interviewing past co-workers who defend this perp than talking about his crimes. This story is really important, imho, but very poorly written by the WP. Unbelievable spin, actually.
