Title: Article: Critics Cost Muslim Educator Her Dream School
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/28/nyregion/28school.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2 Critics Cost Muslim Educator Her Dream School By ANDREA ELLIOTT April 28, 2008 Debbie Almontaser dreamed of starting a public school like no other in New York City. Children of Arab descent would join students of other ethnicities, learning Arabic together. By graduation, they would be fluent in the language and groomed for the country’s elite colleges. Things have not gone according to plan. Since the school opened in Brooklyn last fall, children have been suspended for carrying weapons, repeatedly gotten into fights and taunted an Arabic teacher by calling her a “terrorist,” staff members and students said in interviews. The school’s creation provoked a controversy so incendiary that Ms. Almontaser stepped down as the founding principal just weeks before classes began last September. Read the entire article, a detailed summary of the troubles surrounding the creation of the Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn, at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/28/nyregion/28school.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2 .
