Teacher Uses Muslim Student
As Example Of Terrorist
This story is too fucking funny. I have to wonder if the teacher meant this in a spirit of humor.
Of course, it's not friendly to single adolescents out for ridicule, so perhaps the teacher ought to have used more tact. However, let's face it, the fact that CAIR is involved would indicate that this is Taqiyya.
From CBS News:
CHICAGO (CBS) ― A Chicago teacher is under fire for singling out the only Muslim student in her class while talking about the Middle East. The teacher has now been reassigned to another school. However, the young boy's family is demanding answers.
CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli reports that the family met behind closed doors at Chicago Public Schools headquarters for two-and-a-half hours in a meeting presided over by a federal mediator. All sides have agreed to meet again next month.
The teacher in question is no longer working at the same school, but if the Pakistani-American family at the center of this story has their way, she might not be working much longer.
"He came home and before he even took his backpack off, he had tears in his eyes already," said Mohmmad Fahad Choudhary, victim's brother.
Mohmmad talks about the day his little brother came home from school saying his teacher had singled him out in front of his class as an example of a terrorist.
"She used the example of if Saleh were to go on to an airplane, put his backpack down and put two wires together and the plane were to blow up - and she didn't make a point," said Christina Abraham, Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Saleh Choudhary did not want to go on-camera to talk about the incident, which happened last April while he was a sixth-grader at Brentano Academy, but his brother says the 13-year-old's life hasn't been the same since.
"Everybody started teasing him and calling him a terrorist after the comments were made by the teacher," Mohmmad said.
Within days after the teacher allegedly made the comment during a history discussion, the family filed a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights.
Today, representatives from the federal government and CPS met with the family and the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"The family does want her fired, they don't believe that she should be teaching students anymore," Abraham said.
The superintendent of Chicago Public Schools says lengthy suspension or possible termination is on the table.
"We have huge concerns about the conduct of the teacher," said Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan. "From my standpoint, what happened is absolutely unacceptable and we're looking at some very severe sanctions because of that behavior."
As of right now, the teacher is still on the job at a different school. The teachers union says it will do whatever it takes to ensure that its members' rights to due process are fully enforced.
They also question the timing of today's announcement – on the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks – but the family says today was simply the first day when all the parties could agree to meet.

Would it have mattered had the teacher not used a Pakistani student for the example?
A few years ago, I might had said, "Yes."
But now, I'm not so sure.
As pointed out here, CAIR is involved. That raises my suspicions as to exactly what transpired.
Also, the Moslem student might have taken offense anyway, even if he had not been "singled out."
Wasn't there a quote from an Imam sometime back saying something like, "It is an offense for a non-Muslim to utter the name of Allah or Mohammed."
Basically, any time we offer an opinion on anything in any way related to Islam, Muslims get offended.
Fuck 'em.
They made a mistake choosing 9/11 for this publicity.
We make a mistake to put all muslims in one basket. We should instead single them out by nationality or even tribe. Muslims are not united unless outsiders make them so.
Al Fin,
That's a very important point you just made.
Have you ever written anything on that you would care to post here?
Subverting jihadism is an important goal. There are a lot of ways of doing that. Most of them are best done quietly.
by nationality or even tribe -
no.
Traditional boundaries have been fought for and won/lost under the flags of many a national matrix. This war is no such thing.
There are no infidel tribes which practice jihad.
The sanctimonious supremacism of the tribe of Islam - nothing more, nothing less wielding this sword. Grievances don't deviate from it, neither should the infidel response.
To deviate would result with infidel national boundaries continuously being challenged. Think Kosovo, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Chechnya, Gaza, Samaria &, Judea (aka West Bank, the Philippines etc. Coming soon to the banlieus (sp?) of Paris, Birmingham, Luton, London, Malmo, etc. etc.
Islam declared this war . . .this battle is with Islam.
Al Fin,
What I thought was interesting about your point is that it is pretty much counter to that of IBA.
Our goal here is to
1) inform Infidels about the dangers of Islam
2) to piss off Muslims so that they will behave according to their nature as believers, thus further informing Infidels of the dangers of Islam
Pissing off Muslims would, most likely, cause Muslims to band together more. Certainly, it is doubtful that pissing them off would cause them to fight among themselves.
So, what you are saying might a good lesson for us here.
