Intifada NYC
Principal at New NYC Arabic-Language School Forced to Resign *
The principal of New York City's first public school dedicated to the study of Arabic language and culture resigned under pressure after she was quoted explaining that the word "intifada" literally means "shaking off" in Arabic. Debbie Almontaser's remarks were in response to a question over the phrase "Intifada NYC," that was printed on T-shirts sold by AWAAM, a Brooklyn-based girl's empowerment organization. The shirts have no relation to her school.
