If the teacher wanted to take unpaid leave for a couple of days, whats the problem? The school system can’t find a sub for those days? BS... hope she makes 5 million!

” the DOJ is right on this one. Allowing the teacher to take *unpaid* time off to complete a religious obligation is a reasonable accomadation - just the same as it would be to allow a Catholic teacher to take unpaid time off to visit the Holy Land and to perform the stations of the Cross.”
Perhaps. . .but I am willing to bet the DOJ would NOT support a Christian doing anything for religious purposes.

The teacher can go at anytime during the summer. This should be decided in favor of the school district.

“...This should be decided in favor of the school district....”
You, me, and the cat up the street all know that it won’t be decided in favor of the school district. islam is the preferred political belief system so the DoJ won’t want to upset the apple cart.

This teacher could easily have gone in summer when school is out. This is a typical mooselimb attempt to play the system against this country and shove a stick in the eye of the “infidel”

We [Christians] already have been denied religious freedoms
by the barrels full. The mere mention of Biblical mores is
instantly decried by atheists or moslems as an attack or affront upon their “superior” beliefs.
I personally refuse to accommodate any of these pukes any more. I never put much stock in that turn the other cheek
fluff to begin with and even less now.
