What can you expect from the state and its major city infested by demonRATS with the representative in Senate who defends needs of muslims first, and considers 9-11 the Bush's fault?

[ikanakattara]

If Muslim students expect to be excused from class for prayer during the normal operating hours of the school day, I'd say we need a test case. Christian students ought to leave class for prayer, and then sue when they're disciplined.

We've always known that the only religion not tolerated in the US is the Christian religion; this is just a shift from tacit to overt discrimination.

[Razz Barry]

It would be so funny if the whole class would leave, when the Muslims go to pray. Man, if I had children in a NY City School I could be having so much fun with this.

My Christian nose feels awfully rubbed after reading this story. This sounds like a story for O'Reilly or Hannity.

[anniegetyourgun]

This has been going on for years. Obviously, our pc cultural diversity and multiculturalism training does not apply to the Christians.

[SpinyNorman]

So where is the ACLU on this? Is this not "state sponsored" religion? How would this be different from a similar request for a prayer room during Christian holidays? I reall want to see them squirm on this one!

[NC Conservative]

Why do liberals continue to ignore the one and only God? That is my burning question.

[Portnoy]

No prayer in schools. Period.

What?

PRAYER IN SCHOOL ISSUE HEATS UP AGAIN

[Mrs. P]

I am so thankful for our WELS school. They start the day with a prayer, then Bible class, they pray before lunch and at the close of the day. Also, when there is something happening - like on 9/11 - the teachers stop and they all pray.

No state funding in our school, either.......

[mbb bill]

BinLaden won?

[gcraig]

This is insane. My child has been taught that his relationship with God is constant, much like his relationship with my wife and I. He can pray in school or outside school at anytime, whether he is allowed to or not!

[SunnyUsa]

I watched a report on local NYC news LAST WEEK where they TOOK a group of public HIGH SCHOOL kids to a mosque!

To learn the diversity and the culture, but it was clearly a RELIGIOUS EVENT....the GIRLS were required to COVER their HEADS and they read from the KORAN!

THIS is PUBLIC SCHOOL! Would they ever have such a trip to a CHURCH or TEMPLE?

this is the hypocrisy!

We were stunned watching it!

[Mr. Bungle]

Once again, leftists violate their ostensible "principles" when the ends serve to immediately challenge the dominant social structures. Mascotting at its finest.

[Goetz_von_Berlichingen]

"Schools Chancellor Harold Levy . . . Levy spokeswoman Margie Feinberg."

I could almost understand how Islamic intruders could get away with this nonsense if the ethnic/religious background of most of NYC's public school teachers were not Jewish. Are these people so blind that they do not see what happens when Moslems are allowed a foothold in a non-Moslem country? Have they no relatives in Israel? Are they so self-destructive that they want to nurture the cells of Islamist supporters who will eventually provide recruits and funds for the Jihad against, among others, the Jews?

Or is it just that they hate Christians more than they fear Moslems?

[culpeper]

This is a disgrace. Its also a perfect opportunity for a lawsuit, where is the ACLU on this one ?

[LoneGOPinCT]

Well of course. The Muslims have now officially reached "Victim Status" and as such, are now subject to special rights.
