No, we're just pointing out that a publicly funded religious school is against the law and apparently the constitution.

Conservative areas have their own problems. Are you making me justify why this happened in a blue state?
What should I do, apologize? Or would I just find 50 stupid things that have happened in red states?
So irrelevant of a topic. C'mon man, just leave the partisan bias at the door.

Marking something off as "typical liberals" or anything else as ridiculous as that is not acceptable.

Sarcasm, used they way you claim is nothing but a tool of the weak. Like that nervous little laugh some people do after everything they say, it allows you to run and hide if someone disagrees.
Well, I disagreed with you. There is no way to really know ahead of time how people would react to a privately funded muslim school. I'm sure there must already be some here in the U.S., and I'm sure I haven't heard anyone calling them terrorist training camps. So, based on my experience, I took what you said as an attempt to trivialize this discussion by using what you are now calling "sarcasm" to say in effect that we shouldn't be bothering this poor (and illegal) muslim school because if they were private we'd still "persecute" them for that. So, you can now see (I hope) that not only did I read and understand your post, but it seems likely that I understood it better than you did.
