CAIR managed to " get invited" to present Islam 101 to an entire middle school during regular school hours. The principal in charge, Robin Lowe, has been reassigned. AP:
A junior high school principal who allowed a group to make a presentation about Islam to students is no longer on the job.
Robin Lowe "has accepted another administrative position effective immediately," the school district said in a statement late Wednesday.
Lowe was the principal of Friendswood Junior High when the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Houston gave a presentation described as "Islam 101"to about 875 seventh- and eighth-grade students last month, the district said.
Council president Tarek Hussein said he contacted Lowe about the educational presentation after hearing from a father who said his son was physically attacked at the school because he is Muslim. Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Muslim students often get teased and called terrorists, Hussein pointed out.
But community members and parents of children at the predominantly Anglo and Christian school complained about the assembly.
David Bradley, a member of the State Board of Education whose district includes Friendswood, said the assembly was not an appropriate response to an attack on a student.
CAIR how figured out how to take advantage of cultural conflicts to weasel their way into schools and institutions. I blogged about a similar incident in January. Photo via fisdk12.net
