What can you expect from the state and its major city infested by demonRATS with the representative in Senate who defends needs of muslims first, and considers 9-11 the Bush's fault?

If Muslim students expect to be excused from class for prayer during the normal operating hours of the school day, I'd say we need a test case. Christian students ought to leave class for prayer, and then sue when they're disciplined.

We've always known that the only religion not tolerated in the US is the Christian religion; this is just a shift from tacit to overt discrimination.

It would be so funny if the whole class would leave, when the Muslims go to pray. Man, if I had children in a NY City School I could be having so much fun with this.
To: Razz Barry
Interesting. When I was a kid EVERYONE would get off on Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashannah, even if you weren't Jewish. This was in NY.

My Christian nose feels awfully rubbed after reading this story. This sounds like a story for O'Reilly or Hannity.

This has been going on for years. Obviously, our pc cultural diversity and multiculturalism training does not apply to the Christians.
To: truther
So where is the ACLU on this? Is this not "state sponsored" religion? How would this be different from a similar request for a prayer room during Christian holidays? I reall want to see them squirm on this one!
To: truther
Why do liberals continue to ignore the one and only God? That is my burning question.
To: truther
No prayer in schools. Period.

Schools Harass Christians, Coddle Other Faiths
IN NEW YORK CITY, Muslims can pray in public schools. Christians cant. Muslims can assemble in school auditoriums, during school hours, and pray. Christians cannot.
So says the New York Post, in a Dec.1, 2000 article titled, Muslim Kids Get To Pray In School For Ramadan, by Carl Campanile. This article didnt make it far in the national news. I found it referenced in a rather obscure Christian newspaper out of Fort Worth, Texas, The Hour of Prophecy.
I thought, Are these Texans the only people that care? How could this situation not make national headlines? It marks one of the most dramatic inconsistencies of Constitutional interpretation in recent history.
At Lafayette High School, in Bensonhurst, in Brooklyn Technical & International in Queens, and in other Brooklyn schools, Muslim students are allowed to assemble and worship publicly in school auditoriums or makeshift prayer rooms during the regular school day.. .

I am so thankful for our WELS school. They start the day with a prayer, then Bible class, they pray before lunch and at the close of the day. Also, when there is something happening - like on 9/11 - the teachers stop and they all pray.
No state funding in our school, either.......

No prayer in schools. Period.I assume you are referring to government schools, in which case I agree.

Their religious needs have been accomodated pretty well in many NYC schools.

Not a bad idea! They can leave for a prayer time same time the Muslims head for the prayer carpets!
To: truther
This is insane. My child has been taught that his relationship with God is constant, much like his relationship with my wife and I. He can pray in school or outside school at anytime, whether he is allowed to or not!
