The State Department has no authority to close a Saudi-supported school criticized for violent teachings, a spokesman said Tuesday, despite an official request for guidance from the Northern Virginia county that leases space for the school's main campus.
The department will "respond as appropriate" to Fairfax County supervisors, spokesman Rob McInturff said.
"We work with the Saudi government ... to revise educational materials in Saudi Arabia, but this is a private school in the U.S.," Mr. McInturff said. "We don't monitor their activities or anything like that."
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly sent a letter Monday to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, requesting that her department provide "specific direction" on the county's lease with the Islamic Saudi Academy in light of a federal commission's findings this month.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom found textbooks used at the 900-student private school included passages that blame the Jews for "discord" and say it is permissible for a Muslim to kill those who have left the faith, an adulterer or someone who has killed a Muslim intentionally, according to the panel.
The findings spurred calls for a public review of the textbooks and criticism of the county board, which voted unanimously in May, prior to the commission's report, to continue leasing property for the school's main campus in Alexandria through next June.

Exactly, we are dooming ourselves.
It seems to me that our leaders don’t look for loopholes to protect us, but rather loopholes to jeopardize us.
Is there any question that a school that advocates breaking the law, even committing murder, is a threat to society?
Where is law enforcement in this? Isn’t it a crime to advocate criminal behavior, in fact instill it in the minds of children?
What it seems like, is that if you swear not to wear a white hood and you’re not some redneck racist, you can get away with most anything.
“Well, it’s not really a crime to build hatred for the Jews.” That’s worked out well in the past hasn’t it. /s
Why don’t the Dems who are in control of the VA government do it?
Aren’t there any American people left in Fairfax county?? Why don’t a few hundred—or a few thousand— get together and close the damned school permanently??!!

I think the proper word is ‘unwilling’ to act.
What we are seeing is slow motion National suicide.
