Normally I wouldn't agree with this, but this is an exception to my internal moral rules. The school has made it a practice to separation by gender and to teach religion above educational learning. Children can go to church or read the holy scriptures to learn about their religion, in this case, the koran. School is a place to learn about history, math, writing, reading and the like. Using a school for primarily teaching your religion is going to breed children that are uneducated accept for the fact that Allah loves them. Thats a stew pot for future terrorists of the world. I am glad the government stepped in.
