School vouchers and charter schools can create dank atmospheres . We can all thank the purveyors of faith - based funding for this racist unpleasantness as well as the purveyors of charter schools all over the United States. Bad stuff happens when one stomps on the constitution. I'm horrified about the treatment Ms. Almontaser has undergone. I'd be delerious with joy if the charter school infestation would stop. I can't but help think of the phrase "separate and unequal" when I think of what charter schools are doing to the public schools. I discovered a very nice public elementary school that could help the New York Board of Ed: Becker Elementary School in Dearborn, Michigan teaches public school Arabic. They are easily found online. This proves that multi-cultural/diversity/linguistic education CAN SUCCEED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITHOUT GETTING MILKED BY CHARTER SCHOOLS!!

The Muslim community already knows very well. It's just a matter of time.
