~FR~ The change.org petition (here) speaks of Brooklyn Technical High School's "Muslim population being so vast." BTHS has an enrollment of 5,451 students (here). Only 252 people signed the petition, and they weren't even all students. So either the Muslim population of the school isn't very concerned, or else it is far from being even remotely "vast". And why go to change.org in the first place? The BTHS administration never even knew the petition existed. Why wasn't it passed it around at the school? This smells more like a ploy to achieve public "victim" status than to effect the prom date. K.

quote: ORIGINAL: respectmen http://nypost.com/2017/05/23/elite-brooklyn-school-wont-change-prom-date-over-ramadan-conflict/ When will these dirtbags finally accept that they aren't in an islamic country? If they don't like it, fucking leave. We shouldn't have to change because of their religion. Piss off to Saudi Arabia and stop fucking whinging. Aside from you, who is complaining or whining? The article doesn't quote any students pushing this, nor anyone they talked to trying to bring the petition to people's attention. All it is is a petition posted online that by someone that no one has interviewed, and that anyone can sign. And somehow the paper got wind of it, and while they don't bother to explain how it came across their radar, they thought it was newsworthy. And you fell for it.

Another non-story. I wouldn't be surprised if the paper (or the website) had their staff sign the petition so that they could express moral outrage about it. The telling quote is as follows "Brooklyn Tech officials said Monday they never received the petition and had no prior knowledge of it." You think maybe if the people putting the petition together were students or parents from the college they would have made sure it reached school management. Nothing gets people reading and debating quite like another story about how the Muslims are taking over our schools. All you have to do is find someone (who is or pretends to be) Muslim and get them to ask for something most non-Muslims don't want. They don't have to succeed. They only have to ask. Boom - instant scandal. They will be introducing Sharia Law next. Of course they wont, but just suggesting that someone wants it will make readers blood boil. (Is your blood boiling yet, Greta?).
