RUTHFULLY YOURS

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/07/defunding_school_police.

Craziness now exits on an industrial scale but among all foolish ideas, none is stupider than trying to defund police departments, particularly where poor people, disproportionately African Americans, depend on policing. Yet, just when it seems that this insanity cannot get worse, it does, and the latest madness concerns extending defunding demands to include school police. The Klan’s Imperial Wizard must be thrilled by a policy that will further undermine the education of African Americans. Do anti-cop crusaders honestly embrace the Rousseauian fantasy that children naturally soak up knowledge if only left on their own? 

This defunding effort is not as preposterous as it might initially appear. Milwaukee schools have already terminated their relationships with the city’s police department while Portland. OR schools removed armed police officers from schools. Denver, Co has likewise banned police from its schools, a policy also enacted by Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN.  The LA school district cut $25 million in policing funds from its budget while in Berkeley the cut was 50%.  Declining municipal budgets may encourage yet more reductions especially if justified by “racial justice.”  

To understand this crusade, consider an article in Colorlines, a radical black magazine. “Black and Brown Students Are Organizing to Remove Police From Their Schools” outlines the campaign and notes this to be an ongoing quest. To quote:  

Law enforcement has had a brief yet abusive relationship with American public schools, spurring the terrorization of Black and Brown students and increased interaction with law enforcement at a young age. The rationale behind police in schools has always been for the “safety” of children. Yet, since police have shown up, the school to prison pipeline has strengthened, putting young children into the legal system and criminalizing their oftentimes normal behavior. (Italics added)

In resistance, youth and student organizers have taken to school board meetings and the streets to fight for the removal of police from schools in line with the national call to defund the police,,,

In other words, no rational reason exists for this policing since, allegedly, African Americans behave themselves, so policing just unfairly criminalizes innocent people of color, an argument identical to what Black Lives Matter activists insist — inherently racist cops routinely murder blameless blacks.

Izhar Khan is the imam of Masjid Jamaat Al’Mu-mineen (MJAM), the South Florida mosque associated with the ever-expanding Islamic Center of Margate. Khan, in the recent past, was charged by the FBI with helping to finance the Taliban, and MJAM currently promotes violence and bigotry against Jews, Christians, homosexuals, women and others. So how is it that parents would allow their children to be taught classes by Imam Khan and to use the MJAM facilities, as they have, unless these parents’ attitudes toward terror and bigotry are the same?

On June 22nd, the South Florida Muslim Federation (SoFlo Muslims), an umbrella group for South Florida’s many radical Muslim organizations, advertised on its Facebook page Wednesday ‘Seerah’ classes being taught by Imam Khan and MJAM – seerah, meaning biography or traditions of Prophet Muhammad. The classes were/are being taught to members of the South Florida Muslim Young Professionals (SoFloMoPros), a partner group to the Muslim Federation that claims to include “over 500 Muslim young professionals and graduate students.”

Having so many young and impressionable people being exposed to the teachings/indoctrination of Khan and MJAM is certainly a concern, but what is of much more concern is the fact that small children are also taking classes from Khan and the mosque.

On the homepage of MJAM’s website, one finds a photo depicting Khan handing out certificates to young boys donning MJAM t-shirts, as their smiling parents and siblings look on. According to the site, classes (‘Daily Youth Madrassahs’) for children led by Khan take place five days a week. The mosque claims to provide them with a “quality Islamic Education.” Given Khan’s terror-related history and MJAM’s present propagation of hate, one has to wonder what this quality education entails.
