2011-10-09 Home Front: Culture Wars

Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy K-8 public charter school in suburban St. Paul folded. It was a school that appeared to have been operating illegally at taxpayer expense. You might have said that the school was Islamic in all but name, except that even its name was Islamic.

"...the ACLU Minnesota
they were the good guys in this
settled its claims against Islamic Relief USA and the Minnesota Department of Education. Islamic Relief USA agreed to pay the ACLU $267,500. As part of the settlement, the Minnesota Department of Education also agreed to enforce the damn law.

As a result of its failure to find a sponsor as required by state law, TiZA failed to open this fall. The ACLU's case against TiZA nevertheless remains.

#1 Having trouble getting my head around the ACLU being on the right side of this case.

#3 If the ACLU wants to regain any of its long lost lustre it will find many more of these "Mosque/State" issues to attack. They polluted the pool with their fanatical anti-Christian war. They need to move against this real religious threat.
