The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission seems to think so. "The price of separatist schools," a New York Post editorial, March 16:
Does a radical Muslim have a right to head a New York City public school? The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission seems to think so.That panel ruled last week that city officials discriminated against Debbie Almontaser when they forced her out as principal of the taxpayer-funded madrassa she helped found.
Yet the Khalil Gibran International Academy, which is billed as an Arabic-themed public school, was a bad idea from the start -- and Almontaser was an even worse choice to lead it.
As The Post reported in 2007, Almontaser served as spokesman for an organization that shared office space with an Arab group that hawked T-shirts bearing the slogan "Intifada NYC" -- an apparent reference to the bloody Palestinian terror campaign against Israeli civilians.
Incredibly, Almontaser defended the shirts, claiming that "intifada" was really just an Arabic word for "shaking off."
Never mind, as The Post also reported, that the group's co-founders were members of an outfit that advocates the elimination of the Jewish state.
At best, in other words, Almontaser -- a self-styled "moderate" -- was willfully blind to the reality of Islamic terror and has no business teaching city schoolkids for that reason alone.
More likely, she played the folks at the Education Department for fools....
No doubt about that. Read it all.
Ok, what does 'shaking off' NYC mean...?
'Does a radical Muslim have a right to head a New York City public school'?
No...No one has a 'right' to head any school...unless it is an elected position...If it is her right, it is my right also...Where do I apply?' How much does it pay?
Khalil Gibran was born into a Maronite family in Northern Lebanon...His book 'The Prophet' is a classic...I don't think it was about Mahound...Mahound was never 'that' wise...
To name that academy after him is blue smoke and mirrors...
designed to make something ugly look good...
This is the visible tip of a very large and dangerous iceberg. Islamic infiltration, subversion and sedition in education is far more widespread than most parents realise. http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/islamic-infiltration-and-subversion-of.html
A school headed by a Muslim, named after the Lebanese Christian quasi-mystical writer Kahlil Gibran, who left Lebanon, as so many Christians did, early in the twentieth century, because they were keenly aware of the massacre of Maronites in Damascus in 1860, of the massacre of Christian Armenians in 1894-96, and of other incidents, large and small, that pointed forward to worse to come. Their cards of identity often referred to them as "Turcos" or "Sirianos" but, though inhabitants of the moribund Ottoman Empire, they were, above all, Christians and keenly aware of it
It is unsurprising that for reasons of protective coloration, knowing the good reputation of Lebanese Christians, that those who chose this name chose "Kahlil Gibran." It makes it seem...more acceptable, more Lebanese-y, more American.
Don't be fooled. This will not be a school that Kahlil Gibran, or the jurisprudent Antoine Fattal, author of "Le status legal des non-musulmanes en pays d'Islam" or Charles Malik, the Lebanese Christian (Greek Orthodox by birth, Maronite by worldview) statesman who, it is amazing to recall, contributed to the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (a document anathema to believing Muslims, which is why they came up with the "Islamic" version to fool the unwary, the so-called Cairo Declaration, but once was a major figure at the U.N., when the U.N. was not yet under the sway of the Islamintern), would approve of; they would sniff the air, and figure out at once that this was not a school where merely Arabic would be the language of instruction, but that Islam would be everywhere, and that they would never be welcome.
It would be interesting to know what *this* is all about:
Gibran Academy Principal Quits
On Monday, Ms. Reichert sent a letter home to parents saying that it would be her last day of school and that on Tuesday, Beshir Abdellatif would become interim acting principal.

We have had Communists heading public schools in various parts of the country. Why not an Islamicist?
I don't like either party, but there is a Constitutional case for both of these unpleasant allegiances serving our schools. The next job is to be sure that anyone not of that ideological ilk connected to the school is ready to sue, sue, sue at the slightest hint of discrimination or unfairness.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle reports:
What will the city do when the federal court rule against then and it they donot obey the court order federal court police will ender city hall an arrest the mayor for content of court. Federal troop will enforce the order of the court.
This is your brain :
"Mmmm, I'm hungry because I haven't eaten supper yet tonight."
This is your brain, fully suffused by Islam :
"What will the city do when the federal court rule against then and it they donot obey the court order federal court police will ender city hall an arrest the mayor for content of court. Federal troop will enforce the order of the court."
'Nuff said, and no, English spelling and grammar have nothing to do with it. This comment speaks for itself, entirely.
"...arrest the mayor for content of court."
HHAAHAHHAHAAAA!!!!!!!
Champ,
ROFLMAO!
G
Hey George! :)
Kinda weird how the Post's article didn't mention the taxpayer-subsidized segregation at this school, huh?
federal court police will ender city hall an arrest the mayor for content of court. Federal troop will enforce the order of the court.
I think the Feds need to run that one by the local county DA and sheriff before arresting anyone for 'content of court'...
That's really hard to prove because no one knows exactly what it is...The Sheriff has the power to arrest those Federal troops for trespassing if he chooses to...
Jdamn...missed that name and those razor sharp comments...
Glad to see you posting... :)
Hi! ...glad to see you :)
Miira wrote, citing the NY Daily News:
Almontaser's lawyer, Alan Levine, called the timing of the principal turnover "curious" and could interpreted "as an attempt to deflect the conclusion of the [EEOC] that the DOE had engaged in discrimination," he said.
Curious? Ha!
................
Great sleuthing, Miira. It was impossible to miss that Beshir Abdellatif—like "Debbie" Almontaser—is almost certainly Muslim, while Holly Reichert is not.
It also seems suspect that Ms. Reichert would consider it a great "professional opportunity" to step down as a school principal in order to take a position as "a literacy coach at a secondary school".
Why should it be important that a school named for the Christian Khalil Gibran have a Muslim principal? Only if that school is not just an Arabic language school, but a vehicle for Muslim supremacy.
I've got to echo Duh Swami and Champ—great to see you posting again, Jdamn.
Same here jdamn. Nice to see ya...
Now...
If the US can have a Communist for a President...all things are possible.
Not necessarily right or proper or good for the Republic, but possible.
islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.
When Ike was president than federal judge order than little rock univerity accept than black student the state and city refuse the judge issue content of court the next day state policemen kill federal court police the president obey federal court ruleing sent in federal troop to force the state and city to obey the court order. The governor and city mayor where arrest by federal troop.So you foreigner hater know nothing about america legal system. After when than federal judge issue than ruleing of content state and city offical expect arrest by federal court police who are the only federal law enforcement group written into our contenition.
The DoE endorses discrimination against Americans at taxpayer-funded universities. They also don't think that Jews are entitled to either Title VI or Title VII rights when Mohammedans and their enablers violate them.
