A major breakthrough since Wednesday.....

Someone figured out how to "work" a flagpole......

[Truth29]

They are just making a few cosmetic changes to cloak what they are doing and to continue to use the liberal laws and nature of the US to undermine it from within. No public funds should be used for this or any similar institution and its sponsors and affiliations should be closely examined for terrorist connections.

[Reaganesque]

I guess they found the flagpole’s user’s manual. Or, they could have called tech support. Who knows?

The American Civil Liberties Union is looking into the situation but cannot act unless and until someone files an official complaint.

That never seems to have been a requirement for ACLU involvement in the past.

The American Civil Liberties Union is looking into the situation but cannot act unless and until someone files an official complaint the school starts teaching Christianity instead of Islam.

Fixed.

TIZA does not endorse any religion...

Just how many of your students are Christians, Jews or other non-Muslims? After school hours could Christian, Jewish or other religious groups hold services in this taxpayer funded facility? This is pure and simple a Muslim academy funded by Minnesota taxpayers.

Why isn't the ACLU filing suit at this school for promoting religion? ...perhaps it's because no one is complaining as all the students are Muslims.

my church would love to hold a pork bbq fundraiser on site for them

"We're required under the federal guidelines to allow students to pray when they wish to do so.

Does that also apply in other charter schools when Catholics or Evangelicals wish to pray during the day?

[oldenuff2no]

Ya right, a muslim school on the public dollar. It was and is going to end one way or the other. The PC courts have screwed Christians over time and time again in the schools. Now they want to give islam every break they can. If it continues the people will take things into their own hands.

[ltc8k6]

This should have been set up better.

Someone should have simply demanded equal time for other religions.

That would have gotten something started.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yep. As long as teachers or any other school officials do not get involved.

But, that is one of the allegations, here. This is not voluntary prayer. It is organized by staff and parents....

[95 Bravo]

Did anyone else see the interview with the director of the school? He was very smug, very slick. He had all the answers, like he was pulling them from a playbook.
Watch what happens next- I’ll bet they try to discredit the substitute teacher who raised questions about the school.
This stinks worse than the southbound end of a northbound camel.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

He was just following the playbook........

You should be asking why the ACLJ isn’t looking into this.

[Napoleon Solo]

Are we now supposed to give three $hite$ about this so called organization since the UN likes them? I don’t think so and more so if it’s OK with the UN, it is bad for the USA. One way or the other, they can’t have it their way any longer.

We are paying $5.00 for Gas and $5.00 for home heating oil all due to our “friends”, the Islamofacists.

Guess who learned how to use a flagpole?

LOL...I wonder if flagpole tech support has been outsourced!
