The entire basis of this statement is a crock. The Haj is an annual event. Faithful Muslims are not required to go every year. The requirement is at least once in their lifetimes if they can afford it. There are a number of Muslim charities available to help with expenses if finances are the issue.
But finances are not the issue here. The issue is Ms. Khan's chosen timing. In all fairness to her, she may not have been aware of school district policy or their union contract which made it so inflexible. She could have gone through the union to make an exception. But the way events transpired, her objective was not to get an exception for her convenience, but create a special class with special rights.
I suspect that she could have chosen to take a semester as a sabbatical. I could respect that. But, I agree with you. The point was to create a precedent and push the limits another notch. The Overton Window effect.
Quite right. There is ample basis here and elsewhere to argue that is also the objective of our current agenda-driven DOJ.
One can question whether this arm of government, which has developed a pattern of ignoring inconvenient facts, will ever be effectively cleansed of anti-America operatives.
