What was comforting about the whole thing was the number of people in the community that came out and spoke in favor of the Muslims.
Sadly, the pea-brained rednecks idiots are committed to coming back to every School Board meeting and complaining until they get their way. The more intelligent ones in the group have figured out that they would be happy with some sort of policy that screens classroom speakers. What I find funny and refreshing is that the chairwoman of the Board, who is about as WASP-y as you can get, has stood up to these idiots and run logical rings around them every time they show up.
