Shake it off

[Haul Asp]

A New York City principal who came under fire for controversial comments about an "intifada" T-shirt that seemed to condone terrorism has resigned.

On Friday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg accepted the resignation of Debbie Almontaser, principal of the Khalil Gibran International Academy, an English-Arabic school set to open next month in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The principal had come under fire for comments she made to The New York Post about an "Intifada NYC" T-shirt that is sold by an activist group which shares an office with the Yemeni-American association that Almontaser represents.

The day before she condemned the T-shirt message's connection to Palestinian terrorism, Almontaser told the Post that "intifada" meant "shaking off" and the shirts represented women "shaking off" oppression.


How about we shake you off. Off the planet.

Hopefully they don't do driver's training. Watch out for someone who doesn't need to learn how to stop the car.

Seriously though. If you were a pilot instructor and someone came to you and said they just needed to learn how to take off and fly and not how to land wouldn't you put two and two together that they don't plan on landing on the ground and maybe you shouldn't teach them and maybe you should call 911? Geee, I don't know, but maybe. Dumbasses.

They only think about the money. After all, who are they to judge someone else's motives? I also think that patriotism has been on the decline for years now. People love to come here, but they would never sacrifice anything for this country.

Funny how a lot of people and companies push for diverse groups

They are trying to make it more palatable (sp?) for us to accept, as they manuipulate the balance of various ethnic populations. Wouldn't want too many red-blooded Americans in America, now would we? They are creating factions, and it's being planned that way.
