Justice Department sues on behalf of Muslim teacher

[Rim05]

“What about the kids’ rights?” said Mike Hasapis, owner of the local coffee shop. “Don’t they have a right to be educated? Three weeks off is a long time.”
Bernard Peters, whose daughter attends Khan’s former school, said the district “should have accommodated her. It’s her religion. Right is right.”
A few miles away at the Islamic Foundation, support for Khan was uniform. “If she was a Jew, would they treat her the same way?” Nabih Kamaan of Bloomingdale, Ill., asked as he arrived for Friday prayers.
“What if she was sick? What if she had a baby?” said Kamaan, who added that the lawsuit “is the right thing to do.”

This is right, why should a teacher think or expect the school and the children to accomodate her time off for her religion.
If a teacher thinks he/she needs so much time off, Perhaps they should not be a teacher. As long as they get away with their arrogance , the more they will want.

The travesty is, the woman isn't suing, it's the government on her behalf. I doubt if she was Christian and took time off to have a baby the justice department would be involved at all.

Fact is, medical emergencies are unexpected. This woman knew all along that she was going to ask for this time off. It was nothing more than fraud. Nevertheless, she could have sued on her own. Now it's the federal government stepping in which is absolutely and totally disgusting. But with a muslim in the white house, we should expect more and more of this.
