No?

While advocating for a Godless school system, progressives have conveniently ignored the hypocritical actions of extremist Muslims in our midst, which if allowed would turn some Michigan schools into full blown publicly funded Madrasas. According to BizPac Review, after objecting to Off-school CHRISTIAN activities, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) has succeeded in persuading Dearborn school officials to accommodate the floor kissing practice of Islamic prayer in our tax payer funded schools:

"CAIR lodged its complaint against the Dearborn School District, claiming that the school system didn't accommodate Muslim students wishing to participate in prayer on school grounds.

After CAIR staff met with Dearborn Public Schools Superintendent Brian Whiston, the district "implemented a policy which fully accommodates student-led prayer in all the schools," according to the Arab-American News."

As seen further in the story:

The very same Michigan chapter of CAIR sent a letter to the Roseville Public School system complaining that permission slips were being handed out so that students could attend Bible classes, according to a CAIR press release.

The classes were not held on school property, but rather at a local Baptist church. In addition. the school didn't provide transportation to or from the Bible classes, and attendance didn't excuse the students from keeping up with their regular school work.

Michigan Arab-American civil rights leader Imad Hamad has been placed on administrative leave while there's an investigation into a sexual harassment complaint.

The move comes after State Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, sent a letter Friday to the national board of the American-Arab Anti- Discrimination Committee accusing Hamad, director of the committee's Michigan regional office, of sexually harassing her and numerous women and contending the committee failed to stop Hamad.

Rest if one can stomach an alleged 15-year-old complaint

But, Rashida, to quote your Progressive Party's standard, Hillary Clinton, "What difference at this point does it make?"

Fay Beydoun's parents speak Arabic at home, and she's learning the language at Riverside Academy West.

"Alsalam Alikoum. Kaif halak," she repeated during a recent Arabic class featuring common greetings. Translation: Hello. How are you?

"I already knew how to write the language, but it's good to be able to speak it and understand it, too, inside and outside the classroom," said Beydoun, 17, a senior.

It is part of the curriculum in all grades at 10 schools in the Global Educational Excellence charter system, which has facilities in Hamtramck, Detroit, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights and Ann Arbor.

The charter schools were founded by Palestinian immigrant Mohamad Issa and his brother Said Issa in 1997 with 97  students. He said learning Arabic, in addition to the traditional core curriculum, will better enable students to compete in a global marketplace.

The next logical step, he said, is to expand into the Middle East, becoming the only Michigan-based charter system on foreign soil.
....

"Sweden operates a charter-like system, and they're also found in Canada, England, and New Zealand ... ," he said. "There are other charter school management companies with schools in other countries, but as far as we know, there aren't any other Michigan-based charter operators with schools in other countries."
...

Back at Riverside West Academy, when the bell rings, it resembles any other school with kids laughing, greeting each other and quickly moving to the next classroom.

The similarities end there. The schools practice gender separation in all academic classes. But boys and girls eat in the same cafeteria, which is halal in keeping with Islamic law.

Ah, got it.  My tax dollars are going towards funding a colonizing people and their madrasas.  Oh joy... All hail multiculturalism!  And, down the road, I also look forward to reading all about how much of our U.S. tax dollars were funneled off to the Brotherhood in durka-durkastan too.  Say walla, bro.

The Dearborn Public Schools must make changes to comply with civil rights laws, following an enforcement action launched by a federal agency two years ago.

The U.S. Education Department said Thursday an agreement with the district and the department's Office for Civil Rights resolves the federal inquiry.

Parents with limited English proficiency in the heavily Arab-American [translation: Muhammadan] district were not given adequate access to information about their children's education in a language they could understand, according to the investigation.

Officials said the district also denied students learning English access to nonacademic programs and activities.

It's about time the district was required to change its policies, said Osama Siblani, publisher of the Arab American News.

Rest here

Folks, that's what a hero looks like.

The 19th District Court will be closed to the public for one day on Tuesday, May 10, due to responsibilities in support of a visit of the Michigan Supreme Court to Dearborn...

The local court will be closed as Dearborn welcomes the justices of Michigan's Supreme Court for a special educational program in which high school students observe as the justices hear oral argument on a pending case.

Amazing, isn't it?  Our tax dollars are going towards supporting this debacle.
