Do you think it’s ok to publicly fund an Arabic school? Will there be only Christian Arabs attending or will it be mostly Moslems who don’t want to assimilate? Gibran was a Christian? Are you sure? The name is a decoy, a trick. Naming the school after Khaddafi would have been too blatant. I really don’t think the protesting is over the name of the school, but that it is publicly funded.
I don’t have all the details as to how exactly the school is funded or what the demographics are of the student body.
Gibran was a christian...click on the link.
That is what I find amusing.
There was a bit of an uproar when their first hire for the position of principal said she supported “infitada”.
She was quickly fired and replaced - but she fought it pretty good.
If you ever want a good read, pick up The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran...it is a gem.
