Further research shows that Hyland (D-Mount Vernon) “…..reviewed the academy’s materials with the help of an Arabic translator. After Hyland found no reason for serious concern, he and other board members agreed.”

As Hyland freely admits he cannot read or write Arabic, we must rely on his selection of translator and hope the text was translated verbatim and not “interpreted” to mean something the Board could handle to renew the lease.

But what have been a more compelling argument to allow the school to remain open is the price tag that comes with the lease.

“There also are monetary concerns. The school will pay Fairfax County $2.2 million for the lease of the property. The school occupies the site of the former Walt Whitman Intermediate School at 8333 Richmond Hwy. in Fairfax.

The board granted the school a one-year lease extension and agreed the academy could ask for two more one-year extensions.”

According to the WaPo article, Civic Associations in the area testified in support of the lease agreement, but which ones were not disclosed.

===========

Concern is not that a private school has asked that the lease be renewed. The concern is what the schools are teaching. Even home schools have to undergo a rigid curriculum review an dapproval by the county - why is the county just now reviewing the curriculum in these schools.

If this were a home school or other religious school, charges like this would be investigated “to the fullest extent of the law” by a party other than the local Board of Supervisor and his personally selected translator.

Further, if the investigation uncovered teachings that are not in compliance with VA and US law, the schools would have been ordered to change their curriculum (and subject to periodic inspections) or closed.

Connolly is the Board Supervisor. He should have recognized that the findings of one Supervisor’s personally selected translator is not sufficient to dispell concerns and extend the lease for this, and other Islamic schools in the area.

Darn toot’n. Not just a BIT of jealousy. She is GORGEOUS! Who wouldn’t want her looks?!?

However, packaging isn’t everything.

If you didn’t know this before, your sure know it now. Get the facts from the horses mouth. If Greg says so, it IS so!

Like my uncle Tito used to say, better to get facts from the horse’s mouth than the horse’s a$$. I think Krusty has been listening to the wrong end of the donkey all these years! That explains a lot. She thought the donkey was asleep, because it kept on snoring!!!!

Malicious Michelle Malkin, the Vicious Vixen, has cast her spell over Greg. Sounds as if Greg’s into a Friday afternoon orgasm of sexual abuse, harassment of women, hobbled law enforcement, terrorists organizations, “ok to murder women who cheat on their husbands”, orchestrated real estate fraud .

“This is what Gerry Connolly is actively supporting, folks.”
