Supporters of a controversial new Brooklyn academy focused on Arab culture and language said yesterday that the public school's former principal is considering legal action in the wake of her resignation under pressure last month. At a rally in lower Manhattan yesterday, politicians and advocates called for the reinstatement of Debbie Almontaser, who resigned as head of the Khalil Gibran International Academy. Almontaser stepped down four days after The Post ran an article in which she defended T-shirts bearing the imprint "Intifada NYC." "She is not speaking publicly about her resignation, but she is consulting with an experienced civil-rights lawyer," said Donna Nevel, of the Center for Immigrant Families. "It's clear to us that she was forced to resign." City Council members Robert Jackson and John Liu, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, and state Sen.

An Education Department spokeswoman said, "We have no plans to reinstate the former principal."

There are currently 300 exclusively Muslim schools in the U.S. which teach loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution (edit - that was in 2003, 4 years ago). In January of 2002, Saudi Arabia's Embassy in Washington mailed 4,500 packets of the Quran and videos promoting Islam to America's high schools - free of charge. Saudi Arabia would not allow the U.S. to reciprocate.
Important info bump!
And our traitorous politicians will never bring this up. They honestly think they’ll die out before the society collapses or is overrun.
Ping
And an anagram of her last name gives us "Ala Monster"
I really think they make these names up.
Watch this woman’s lawyers get paid by foreign nationals’ donations, and for her lawyers to go before Judge Weinstein for the case.
