&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;In this day in America the Left and Secular Humanists will do their utmost to prevent Christian worship, prayer and symbolism out of Public Schools for the oft misperception of the term “Separation of Church and State.” That term is not found in the original U.S. Constitution nor in any Amendment to the Constitution and especially it is not found in the &lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;first ten Amendments&lt;/strong&gt; known as the &lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;Bill of Rights&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;As you can probably deduce, I highly disagree with the Left’s extreme incursion in Public Schools and Public Institutions. I agree religion should not be promoted as Establishing a State Religion which is the only intent of the First Amendment; however to completely eradicate religion and especially the religion in which America has its heritage from is ridiculous. The Founding Fathers NEVER had any intent of preventing the principles and morals out of publicly funded institutions, they simply objected to establish any particular Christian Denomination as the State Church and they wanted Americans to have the freedom to believe as they see fit whether they were religious or atheistic or what ever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;Now that is my introductory rant on what I think the Left and Secular Humanism has done in attacking the efficacy of Christianity in Public Institutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;Now let us get to the point. The Left and Secular Humanism is so intent on multiculturalism and anti-Christianity that they dispose of their own concepts of “Separation of Church and State” when it comes to funding a religion in Public Institutions foreign to America’s heritage. This is particularly true of the religiously politically correct moniker of the religion known as Islam (I prefer the 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century moniker for it is closer to the truth – Mohammedanism).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;Mohammedanism is being taught in Public Schools to the extent that students are made to practice Mohammedan rituals in the name of multiculturalism. For example: the observing the Mohammedan religious holy days of Ramadan again under the guise of understanding and accepting another multicultural way of living. I don’t have a problem with understanding another culture, especially the Mohammedan culture. Americans need to understand the nature of how Mohammedanism grew into a significantly large religion and how intolerance forbids the free thought non-Mohammedan beliefs in Mohammedan culture. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;HOWEVER teaching students rituals is like promoting its faith. This is the very thing the Left and Secular Humanism does not allow Christianity to do in Public Schools under their belief of the Separation of Church and State.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;It gets worse! Now American tax payer money is actually paying for Arabic Culture schools for foreign children of Arabic descent or immigration complete with speaking in Arabic and Mohammedan prayer moments and a curriculum financed by Saudi interests which include the Wahhabi Sunni school of thought which is the radical Islam of Mohammedan terrorists like al Qaeda, the Taliban and Hamas – all listed terrorist organizations by the U.S. State Department.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;The most controversial school of this nature is in New York – the Khalil Gibran International Academy (KGIA). Daniel Pipes points out that teaching Arabic culture is a good thing; however the way Arabic curriculum is scheduled to be &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: maroon; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nysun.com/pf.php?id=53060&amp;amp;v=5217425021&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt;taught is in a way that glorifies Pan-Arab nationalism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt; or in my interpretation – glorifies Mohammedanism as the supremacist religion of the planet and denigrates other cultures. Alicia Colon writing as a critic of the curriculum that the pro-KGIA people have accused critics of KGIA as being hate mongers and bigots. The pro-KGIA people point especially to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: maroon; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://stopthemadrassa.wordpress.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt;Stop The Madrassa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt; as a preeminent hate group however when Colon investigated the website she found nothing comparable to hate. It is a website critical of promoting Mohammedanism and skewing the academic truth on the American dime. In all this Colon wonders, “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: maroon; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nysun.com/article/60520&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt;Where is the ACLU?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Constantia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;” After all the ACLU is in the forefront organization keeping Christianity out Public Institutions and Public Schools is high on that ACLU list of persecution. Colon was also astounded that the pro-KGIA people were sending her &lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;HATE&lt;/strong&gt; mail of the deviant quality that made anti-KGIA critics look like saints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The goal was to find a solution acceptable to everyone and transparent to the customer seeking airport taxi service. Unfortunately, those discussions have not resulted in a workable, voluntary, consensus-based solution. As a result, the Airports Commission is proposing stricter penalties for refusal of service: a 30-day suspension of a driver’s airport taxi license for the first instance, and license revocation for a second instance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

According to airport spokesman Patrick Hogan back then, “we’ve heard from Australia and England. It’s really touched a nerve among a lot of people. The backlash, frankly, has been overwhelming. People are overwhelmingly against any kind of cultural accommodation.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
