CAIR asks school to drop tea party speaker Brigitte Gabriel

GOPUSA - LITTLE FALLS -- An Islamic civil rights group is calling for the Little Falls school district to not host a speaking event with a woman who they call an anti-Muslim speaker.

Brigitte Gabriel is scheduled to speak Monday at Little Falls Community High School at a Central Minnesota Tea Party event. Gabriel is a member of ACT! for America.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations issued a press release asking the school district to consider the negative impact Gabriel will have on the students.

"By allowing the school to host this event, the perception is that the school is endorsing hate speech and anti-Muslim views," said CAIR-MN Executive Director Lori Saroya in a news release. "This perception could have a negative impact on the learning environment for Muslim students."   More
