He is not a dummy. They don’t want to fly the flag, so they make up a stupid excuse so we make fun of him instead of asking the real questions.

I just read this article from one of our libmedia stations. It points out that state law requires a US flag to fly outside the school. The excutive director of the school claims it’s not there because “he didn’t know how to work the flagpole”

Is THIS guy one of the teachers??? sounds like a big dummy to me.

I actually have been to this school. I went there for some training in the summer of 2006. School was not in session, and I won’t pretend that I went around the whole school. I was in one section which included the staff lounge for the actual training and up and down one hallway looking around. I don’t speak Arabic, so I can’t tell you most of what was there. The people from the school sat one place, and the guests sat at another. Most of the women there were in full burqa. It certainly goes against the charter school movement, which is flowering in Minnesota. Public schools hate them because it is competition and charters try to promote education over warehousing. Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy was always a bad idea, as it will trigger a backlash in school choice as it it becomes the symbol of choice gone mad. I did get a nifty certificate for some clock hours that will remind me of the time when I saw everything that is wrong with our political elites importing those who dislike what we stand for.

I will NOT shut up…. Sharia is real and a threat… get thee in front of me. Let YOU be the first to think they will spare you when they try to impose dhimmitude. Unless you’re Islamic already.

It’s all that and more, unfortunately. While everyone was focused on the 2006 national elections, the Dems picked up like 13 seats in the state house. They already had the state senate. So even with a decent GOP governor, the brakes are off. Massive tax increases, smoking bans, every transit boondoggle, and absolutely every public education subsidy that’s ever been devised.

The problem with the public school system in America is that it is dominated by the politically correct NEA and monitored by the left-wing ACLU. These organization turn away from confronting what they know is politically correct public education because they approve of Islamic religious propagandizing. The obvious double standard occurs when they condemn even the slightest supposed indiscretion by a Christian student who happens to mention Christianity in a commencement speech.

The slow creep of sharia sometime starts so slowly that fighting it feels impossible.

At our Canadian school, a mother is allowed to use an unused classroom for afternoon prayers with her children and others. The kids leave class before recess. Because there is no compulsion and no staff are involved, the board policy is to allow it. We were told that it’s not even up for discussion.

Part of the reason this is allowed is that religious ceremonies already take place in local schools under the guise of multicultural inclusion — circle dances and powwows (which are spiritual activities) for the native students. In that case, some schools end the day early to accommodate the festivities.
