ACLU to sue Twin Cities charter school that caters to Muslims
Star Tribune ^ | 1/21/09 | Randy Furst and Sarah Lemagie

The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota said it will file suit today against a publicly funded charter school, alleging that it is promoting the Muslim religion and that its directors are using a holding company to illegally funnel taxpayer dollars to a Muslim organization.

The suit was to be filed this afternoon in U.S. District Court against Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, known as TIZA, and the Minnesota Department of Education, which the ACLU says is at fault for failing to uncover and stop the alleged transgressions. The suit names the department and Alice Seagren, the state education commissioner, as co-defendants.

The department investigated the Twin Cities school last year, and the school said it had taken corrective actions in response to concerns about the practicing of religion in the school. TIZA officials have previously said they are in compliance with federal and state regulations...

There may be management of the money within the Vatican, but money comes in there from the congregations. It is redistribution.

The Saudi State funds the expansion of Islam in the West to appease the Wahabi terrorists who captured Mecca in the 1970s.

The ACLU occasionally does seemingly good work.

Or they half-heartedly pretend to. Then they can say "see, we even defend Rush Limbaugh's rights". It's where .01% of their efforts go, pretending to protect civil rights in the real sense of the word. The rest goes to tearing down the principles of governance and culture that make rights possible.

Minnesota is officially in the insane Blue State category, as in “What are they, insane?”>

My congressman is Kieth Ellison. My Senator is Stewart Smally. My president is BHO. My neighbors are fools.

Unfortunately, your proposal would have to be applied universally, and it would be terrible for Catholicism in the U.S.

Catholic Churches in the U.S. are funded by foreign governments? I don't think so.

And I thought I was screwed with Hillary and Schumer as my loathesome Senators. I can't even come close to your level of screwedness.

Someone que the Hell Freezes over picture. The ACLU? who would have thunk it.!

Whenever the ACLU does something that I think is reasonable, I have to stop and think. I'm either on the wrong side of an issue or they're up to something.

In this case, I can't see the wrong side, so they're up to something. They MUST have some ulterior motive of some kind. Their history just does not bear out that they would be doing something that would benefit the US or her citizens.

What’s the catch? It makes me very worried when I think the ACLU may be doing something correctly!

To borrow a phrase from the late actor, Trevor Howard, in the film Battle of Britian: "The Bastards are up to something>"
