The first link regards a teacher who was restrained from partaking in student lead prayers. Previously he had lead students in prayer and I can understand the school requiring him to stop, but I think it is some what extreme that he cannot even partake in "kneeling and head-bowing rituals".
The second link regards a charter school in Minnesota that has become the center of debate. Some feel that the school is Muslim and support from state funds is unconstitutional. There are concerns that students are being required to partake in prayer and study of the Quran. If these allegations are true I am surprised that the school was allowed to be founded and able to operate for so long. Nothing against Muslims opening and operating a school based on their faith but using state funding to do so is unfair.
