I wonder what would happen if some other race signed up for the school? Would they be allowed in?

They'd probably be allowed in, and initially welcomed, but people at the school would probably get sick of having to show their nice face to the outsiders and their real face to each other only. Eventually somebody would slip up, say the wrong thing, and the truth would come out: Death to America!

I read a story in Readers Digest years back. Said they (Muslim fanatics)start these kids out in kindergarten to hate America and Israel. Instead of the alphabet on the walls they have anti-American slogans. Remember the video posted a couple months back with the little terrorist graduating kindergarten? Wouldn't surprise me if we start seeing that here. Seems like they are getting bolder.

I'm pretty sure I read in the NY Post last night on the train home that of the kids that have signed up for the school like 4 are actually middle eastern.

Because they are an "opressed minority"...

Try to have a Christian themed public school and see what you get...but it's OK to preach Islam...because it is "culture".

Just another attempt to dumb down traditional American culture and turn this country into a 3rd world shithole.....

Im for equality, and Im sick of these fucks demanding special treatment for their religion. Foot baths, special public schools, et cetera. What ever happened to coming to this country and INTERGRATING into society. Instead they come here, want special treatment as the cost of hard working American tax-payers, and then want to bring their 3rd world traditions with them. Fuck you!

Holy shit, this is hilarious.

Orthodox Jew to lead NY Arabic school
michal lando, jerusalem post correspondent, THE JERUSALEM POST Aug. 15, 2007

An Arabic language public school set to open in Brooklyn on September 4 is on its second principal before even opening its doors.

Experienced educator Danielle Salzberg, who grew up Orthodox, was appointed as the school's interim principal late Monday, following last week's abrupt resignation of the school's founder, Debbi Almontaser.

Khalil Gibran International Academy, named after a Lebanese-American poet and intended to emphasize Arabic language and culture, has been mired in controversy since it was first announced in February. Critics are concerned the school will become a hotbed for Islamic extremism, despite assurances from the Department of Education that the school will not teach religion.

The school will join 70 other dual-language programs, including Spanish, Chinese, Haitian-Creole and Russian, that already exist in the city. The Arabic-language curriculum is being developed by teachers trained at a federally funded Arabic-language instruction program and will use Arabic translations of English-language children's books published by Scholastic.

Criticism of the school, which has three rabbis on its advisory board, reached a high last week over Almontaser's failure to condemn T-shirts printed by the group Arab Women Active in Art and Media, that read "Intifada NYC." Almonaster sits on the board of the Saba Association of American Yeminis, which shares office space with the organization that made the T-shirts.

The shirts were first revealed on the Web site of Stop the Madrassa Coalition, an unidentified group that has been campaigning to shut down the school.

Almontaser told the New York Post last week that the shirts were not endorsements of violence, but "an opportunity for girls to express that they are part of New York City society." She later apologized, saying she regretted "minimizing the word's historical associations."

Almontaser resigned shortly thereafter, saying she was doing so out of concern for the future of the school. The "intolerant and hateful tone" used by critics of the school "has come to frighten some of the parents and incoming parents," she wrote in a letter of resignation, as reported in the New York Sun. "I have grown increasingly concerned that these few outsiders will disrupt the community of learning when the Academy opens its doors on September 4. Therefore, I have decided to step aside ...."

Late Monday, Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein announced Danielle Salzberg as interim acting principal of Khalil Gibran. Salzberg worked for the Department of Education for 11 years, first as an English teacher and later as the assistant principal at another of the city's recently established small schools. She is currently working for New Visions, a non-profit organization that in part helps to develop new schools, including Khalil Gibran.

"With her leadership and the commitment renewed today by teachers and staff, Khalil Gibran will add a new, important option for our students who are interested in a rigorous academic program with an international and Arabic language theme," said Klein in a statement.

Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who has been at the forefront of the campaign to shut down the school, is not assuaged by the choice of principals. Salzberg's Orthodox background has not persuaded Hikind, who represents an Orthodox district of Brooklyn, to step back from his criticism.

"Some of our worst enemies are Jews," said Hikind. "The principal being Jewish hardly gives me comfort." Learning Arabic is necessary, but can be done within the context of other public schools, said Hikind, who will continue to try to convince the administration to "chuck the whole thing."

So far, 44 sixth-graders are enrolled at Khalil Gibran, which plans to eventually serve grades 6 through 12. Six of the enrolled students are Arabic speakers, and the majority of the students are African Americans.

A couple of years ago, a high school English teacher was fired in Iowa
because she did not know Spanish.

Seems there is a Spanish high school somewhere in Iowa,
and in order to teach there, you have to speak THEIR language.

(she was fired because she lied and said she could speak spanish)

CoC prevents me giving my opinion.

We have the spitting image of the photo shown working as a special ed assistant at the school where I work. She pushes retards around and stuff like that. Hates us JROTC instructors because we wear uniforms. Probly thinks we've been wacking her cousins or something. I ignore the dumb bitch. Her son got some disease and she had to stay home and take care of him, ran out of sick leave and the school asked if anyone would donate a few days. I've given about twenty days to various others, since I rarely get sick I have about 140 saved. Anyway I didn't but co-worker did, she never said thanks, go to hell or anything. They are really some F'd up people. I have no respect for her. She was following me in the main building today and I let the door go right in her face.
