Reader comment on item: Opponents Say Arab-Themed School in NYC is a 'Madrassa'

Submitted by jennifer solis (United States), Sep 21, 2007 at 01:53

With regards to this tax-payer funded school:

Deborah Howard, by her own admission, no longer has any direct involvement with the school.

Quoting Dr. Pipes, "The school's curriculum, materials have been concealed like a military secret".

Red flags, anyone? To boot, quoting Deborah Howard: "The Advisory Board may have been disbanded. I'm not really sure.", along with "None of the Jewish advisors would allow a public school to be teaching Islam."

HELLO, Deborah Howard, maybe that's why the Advisory Board disbanded. -JS
