TORONTO EAST END MADRASSAH LOSES SCHOOL PERMIT

TORONTO STAR REPORTS:


Toronto School Board pulls permit of east end madrassah pending the investigation of York Region Police into antisemitic hate in curriculum


A local Islamic school cannot use a Scarborough public school for weekend classes until police have wrapped up their investigation into anti-Jewish teachings, Toronto’s public board has decided.

The controversy over East End Madrassah’s curriculum has also prompted the board to promise a review of its permit process “in the very near future” and make the rules clear to groups that rent out space, said Jim Spyropoulos, co-ordinating superintendent of inclusive schools.
