This is not unusual. I have served as a US diplomat in Saudi Arabia and sat on the school board of the Saudi-American school. I have done so at other schools around the world as well. The USG provides funding to many international schools and our diplomats sit on their school boards.
thanks for the info, that is good to know.
However, it appears to be a conflict of interests if by interfering with the school is viewed as an interference with government issues. The two should be separate issues.
At least that is how I interpreted the statement. Let me know if I understood this incorrectly. thx
How many of the US schools abroard whose boards you sat on preached that Jews and other infidels should be killed?
