Sorry You Don't Get to Vote On This

I don't even have to ask people out there how they'd feel if the government decided to fund Christian Public Schools.

Time and time again we've seen the threat of loss of funds if a particular college doesn't wipe from their campus every trace of what would be considered a Christian idea or program. I've already mentioned here about VMI losing their right to pray at mealtimes with federally funded dollars at stake. They complied. No more prayer. Their more than 100 year tradition was eradicated all because of money and one or two cadets who complained. Money talks. Minority rules.

But what about funding a complete Muslim School right here in the good ol' USA? Is that ok? With federally funded dollars?

Well I guess it is, because it's happening. Actually it's a done deal. The name of the school is The Khalil Gibran International Academy and will open in September in Brooklyn, NY. This school will teach Arabic history, culture and of course, language. Interesting isn't it?

How did this slip by so quickly? I just recently heard about this.

There is a citizen's group called "Stop the Madrassa Community Coalition " and they want answers. So far they are not receiving any answers from the Mayor or the Department of Education about just what will be taught here.

They have asked to see the lesson plans, the textbooks and are requesting to know who the teachers are. They also want to know if this school will have an Islamic slant in their teaching. What do you think? Of course it will. Of course no satisfactory answers have been given this group. Nothing.

The school's principal's name is "Dhabah Almonstass" and she has documented (according to the citizen's group) ties to terrorist organizations.

She was given a national award from CAIR,. CAIR stands for "Council on American-Islamic Relations." This is a U.S-based pro-Muslim lobbying group.

Calls for more information according to the Freedom of Information Act have not been adequately responded to. A representative of the Citizen's Group said there is no concrete information as to what the school is all about.

Where's the ACLU now? They sure are all over the Christians like a monkey on a cupcake (so says Raymond) when it comes to Freedom of Christian expression. What about now?

Why on earth would the Citizens of the United States want to have a middle school sanctioned and built on US tax payer dollars to teach our children Islamic ways? Why?

Out goes the bible, in comes the Koran?

Like the Christians have been crying for years....we are being pulled up by the roots and replanted. This is going to be the start of a disaster.

Are you a professional historian?

The Book of Acts once considered suspect has been vindicated by modern discoveries.


I'm not a professional historian, but let's be honest - if we want a study of the early Roman Imperial period there are better sources than the bible. Asia Minor was a backwater at that time; the real power centre in the Meditteranean was Rome. Western school students are more likely to benefit from studies of Rome and Greece, the sources of western civilisation, than Asia Minor, the sources of eastern religions.

It's not the accuracy I question so much as the usefulness, particularly when bible classes are held at most churches. It's much harder to find an extracurricular class for children that teaches the history of Rome, Egypt, India or the early dynasties of China.
