BACKFIRED: Louisiana GOP Angry That Muslims Can Use School Vouchers

[Berlin Expat]

178. By the beard of the Prophet (saas)

this gives me a brilliant idea!

I'm going to establish, through the use of this program, a private, faith-based school. Perhaps I'll call it the "Ibn Sina Academy". Ibn Sina is better known to the Western World as Avicenna.

I actually personally know at least two retired Jesuits, a Sufi sheikh, and a former Chief Rabbi of Israel. I can feature them as lecturers in my comparative theology classes. And I'm sure I can use my connections in Japan to rustle up a Buddhist priest and a Shinto priest or priestess.

I'll have to hire the absolute best teachers in Math, English, History (American and World) and the Sciences. I plan to establish the highest academic standards; when our students graduate, they'll have the knowledge of a Ph.D.

I can have "debate nights". Perhaps invite prominent expounders of both creationism and Darwinian science to hold open and lively debates; I will of course, allow the students to make up their own minds as to what they choose to believe (it is after all, a faith-based school), and certainly, in Science classes, evolutionary biology will be taught.

And best of all? I'm going to set it up

Right.
In.
Her.
Congressional.
District.

Thanks, Representative Hodges!

Oh, and for an added needling, I also plan to set up a Sufi center/mosque on the premises as well. With a minaret. And I'll find a good muzzein to give the adhan, the call to prayer (but only the noon prayer, as doing that five times a day could be a bit much for the neighbors), so it can be heard all throughout her district.

I'll even invite her to the grand opening!!!
