If New York dollars were used to fund a Christain school, all hell would break loose – so why isn’t the Main Scream Media reporting this:

“Some New York parents are upset their tax dollars are being used to fund the Khalil Gibran International Academy, a secondary school that will purportedly teach students Arabic culture and language. (See earlier story) The school is scheduled to begin classes next month in Brooklyn.

Pamela Hall, a member of the Stop the Madrassa Community Coalition, contends that Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his schools chief, Joel Klein, have been ignoring residents’ concerns about the school’s principal, Dhabah Almontaser, and her ties to organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

“She has an advisory board that is all religious; she has no academics on her advisory board. She has three imams … and they’re associated with the more radical mosques as well — there’s nothing moderate about them,” says Hall. “And one of [those imams] represents seven mosques in Harlem. I mean that’s an awful lot of Muslim/Islam influence on an advisory board for an academic public school.”
