Two public schools in Minnesota have announced remodeling projects that will provide exclusive space for Muslim students to pray and to wash their feet.
Liz Collins, a reporter for Alpha News, first broke the story that has rocked the town of Osseo, a suburb of Minneapolis. She reports that Park Center Senior High will construct a prayer room and that a foot-washing stations is being added to Osseo Senior High School.
A school district spokesperson said that the prayer room had simply been mislabeled on construction documents and will in fact now be a “multi-purpose room” and that the foot-washing area is not specific to any particular religion.
The district would have us believe there are a good many foot-washing Lutherans in Minnesota.
“This is undoubtedly for Muslim students only,” one unidentified source told Alpha News. “I cannot understand how this can be happening in this era of no religion in schools.”
The way that taxpayer-funded schools have embraced Islam stands in stark contrast to the hostility they have shown to Christian students.
