Appeasement and the imposition of sharia law soon. Political correctness is on the verge of destroying this country.

[dynachrome]

Thanks to Key Largo for the heads up on this.

Without trying to sound too racist ( I know that is not PC ) ... what is wrong with the white people of this country? They are just sitting back while any group that complains gets their way and flushes this country down the cultural toilet.

[PeterFinn]

It isn’t racist to observe the obvious and quantifiable truth that Europeans and European-Americans are bringing about their own destruction.

If the little $h!t$ are to be given a fasting-friendly Ramadan table, it should be loaded with pork rinds, ham sandwiches, BLTs, and pigs’ knuckles. Hey, they’re fasting anyway...no big deal.

[forkinsocket]

Yeah but when it comes to policing other white people for racism or cultural insensitivity, they’re all fired up & ready for war.

"What's new is that the number of Arabic-speaking students in the Tinley Park district has continued to grow. And this year, the number of English as a Second Language students, mostly native-Arabic speakers, topped 20 at Christa McAuliffe School, which, under state law, required administrators to hire a full-time teacher to lead the students."

I don’t agree.
I also don’t agree that either Muslims or Catholics should be allowed a special table.

Where is the sacrifice in all of it if it’s made easy?
And yes I am Catholic.

I have never heard of a Lenten table. What would the children do there?

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Penance.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Abstain from meat on Fridays.

[DManA]

Yea but do you need a separate table for that?

[LiteKeeper]

INTREP

[DManA]

So they give a table to Muslim children in the lunch room to sit and not eat? Why not just let them quietly sit in the library?

[dynachrome]

“they give a table to Muslim children in the lunch room to sit and not eat?”

It lets the dhimmis know who is in charge.

[DManA]

Seems kinda mean to make them sit there hungry smelling everyone else’s lunch. Maybe they only fast between meals.

[scrabblehack]

They fast during the daylight hours.

[ConservativeMajority]

Wouldn’t the other children eating around them be offensive or make them feel left out or discriminated against the same way a cross, praying or the name of Jesus Christ does?

[DManA]

Why wouldn’t that be a problem all year long? Again, I have never heard of anyone asking to segregate Catholic children from the others for any purpose.

[DManA]

Oh, you are talking about the Muslim children. Hard to keep this straight.
