But at least there will be no smoking
The NYT on that dreadful madrassa, and nanny Bloomberg’s attitude:
Ms. Almontaser’s leadership of the school became an issue after she was quoted last week in The New York Post defending the use of the word “intifada” as a T-shirt slogan. The word has come to be associated with Palestinian attacks on Israel…At a news conference yesterday morning, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg reiterated his support for the school, following his remarks on Friday in which he said he welcomed Ms. Almontaser’s resignation. “We’re confident the school will continue,” he said.
The world is upside down. The trivial is forbidden with zealotry and fervor, and the truly noxious is tolerated and lauded.
