City Trashes EEOC's Discrimination Finding W/Almontaser Case

Today the City formally rejected an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission panel's finding of discrimination against former Arabic-English school principal Debbie Almontaser. The founder and principal of the Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn was asked to step down after making remarks about the word "intifada," but a lawyer for the city called the EEOC's determination "totally unfounded." According to the AP the city claims she resigned voluntarily. Still, The News reports that Almontaser supporters are urging the Justice Department to sue, based on the EEOC's determination that "race, religion, and national origin," motivated her ousting.

this debate started over a reporter asking for the definition of intifada, the educator, being of academic sound mind gave the textbook dictionary meaning.then raked her over the coals for not adding her personal opinion of the current middle east situation.

lets see how this logic works.

ask a doctor for an explanation of lung cancer, then attack him for not offering a criticism of a patients smoking and lifestyle.

lets apply this to other well connected people.

ask them for the definition of Holocaust of Genocide.

then ask them for their opinion if other historical atrocities count as genocide or holocausts. then attack them for not equating the value of a certain type of people compared to their own, guess who will look like a looney loser trying to define how one persons suffering is no greater than that of their own kind even if the dictionary definition contradicts their statement
