Re: Islamic school in Minneapolis

As Kersten herself notes: "The ACLU of Minnesota has launched an investigation of TIZA, and the Minnesota Department of Education has also begun a review."

If the allegations are true, the school will be shut down or reformed.

No one -- not taxpayers, Dept of Education, lawmakers, liberals -- no one wants taxpayer money to fund religious schools (or schools in violation of constitutional rights w/r/t religious practices) and we're not interested in exceptions for Muslim schools over Christian schools. Kersten performs a service in bringing the school's activities into the light, if accurate. She needn't write as if no one but her cares.

Oh, and big surprise: the Department of Education lacks the "tools" (i.e $$$) to properly oversee the schools.
