Principal Resigns Over 'Intifada' T-Shirts
NEW YORK (Aug. 11) - An Arabic-themed public school will still open in September, despite the abrupt departure of its embattled principal, the city Department of Education said.

Debbie Almontaser resigned as principal of an Arab-themed public school in New York Friday after she was criticized for being part of group selling shirts imprinted with the words "Intifada NYC."
That group is selling shirts imprinted with the words "Intifada NYC." It shares office space with the Saba Association of American Yemenis, which counts Almontaser among its board members.

The tabloid asserted the shirts had a subversive meaning: "The inflammatory tees boldly declare 'Intifada NYC' - apparently a call for a Gaza-style uprising in the Big Apple."

PBC commentary:

You could bet your bottom and your top USA dollar against this type of public funding.   IN a majority rule democracy even the best of moral laws and culture are in danger of extinction.  The Christian community is being pushed ever deeper into a secluded corner of American culture which I believe is one more step toward the removal of God blessing America.  All of these events may very well be in God's grandioso plan for the unavailing of The Apocalyptic End times.
