- That anti-religion bastion of political correctness,
the New York City public school system, has quietly sanctioned prayer
in schools - but only of you're a Muslim who wants to worship during
Ramadan.
-
- In a talk radio exclusive, New York's WABC Radio has
been airing reports for weeks on the school system's special program for
Muslims. Late Wednesday, Schools Chancellor Harold Levy finally confirmed
that the religious double standard indeed exists.
-
- "Christian parents would probably love to have a
place where their children could pray during school hours," WABC
newsman George Weber said Thursday. "They don't ... but the Muslim
kids are getting their very own prayer room in New York City public
schools."
-
- "The New York City public school system is going
to accommodate Muslim students, allowing them space for prayer" during
the five-week Muslim holy season of Ramadan, reported Weber's partner,
Babita Hariani.
-
- "In a statement, though, Chancellor Levy adds the
prayer 'cannot interfere with classes or infringe on other students,'"
she explained.
-
- That's not exactly what the chancellor's office told
the New York Post, which reported Thursday that Levy spokeswoman Margie
Feinberg told them Muslim students will be allowed to cut classes in order
to pray and then reschedule them later.
