“...DOJ is essentially making Muslims a privileged class...”
To the surprise of... NO ONE.
The entire basis of this statement is a crock. The Haj is an annual event. Faithful Muslims are not required to go every year. The requirement is at least once in their lifetimes if they can afford it. There are a number of Muslim charities available to help with expenses if finances are the issue.
But finances are not the issue here. The issue is Ms. Khan's chosen timing. In all fairness to her, she may not have been aware of school district policy or their union contract which made it so inflexible. She could have gone through the union to make an exception. But the way events transpired, her objective was not to get an exception for her convenience, but create a special class with special rights.
