Just this week we had the drunk lady say not to arrest me I'm republican thread and of course the teacher that got after the girl wearing the romney shirt....and many many more.

Then we get 8-10 pages of partisan bickering where of course the OTHER side is the hypocrit and blah blah blah.
But it always interesting in these cultural threads about Islam, just who is deflecting and defending bad behavior from Muslims, libs or cons.

So, Lefties...What's your take on this?
I don't think this is a Lefties OR Righties issue, this is a right vs wrong issue.

The teacher is wrong, If they want to pray to allah 5 times a day they need to say their "hail mahhamad's" in private, and the fact that the teacher is "indoctrinating" the students means the teacher should be replaced, fired for cause.

Added - Teacher was fired

Quote:
She says the day after the incident school officials informed her that Harris had been placed on administrative leave. On Tuesday, she was then informed that the teacher had been terminated from the Chesapeake Public School system all together. Her termination can not be independently confirmed as the messages left with multiple officials with the school system have not been returned. Attempts to contact Harris were also unsuccessful.

No teacher should be advertising their religion at school. Muslim, Christian, Jewish etc doesn't matter. Pray to your god in private.

Below is a very telling key piece of info that I believe is why their local news are ignoring this story of a teacher assaulting students and forcing them to learn Islam in a math class.

"Harris has a disturbing trend of “indoctrinating” students with Islamic teachings. She also said the teacher openly campaigns for President Barack Obama in the classroom."

This story sounds eerily similar to the Fox News story that accused the President and First Lady of giving each other "terrorist fist bumps". Right wingers are practically obsessed with the thought of a Muslim boogeyman coming to get them.
