San Diego’s school board is only the latest public entity to formally cut ties with the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, a group that claims to be a defender of Muslim civil rights but was shown in court to be a front for the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas.
The school board, in its July 25 meeting, ended a partnership with CAIR that aimed to combat “anti-Muslim bullying” after parents sued, charging the program is unconstitutional because it appears to show a preference for one religion over another. The lawsuit against the “anti-Islamophobia” campaign later was revised to focus on CAIR’s radical Islamic origin.
Already, the FBI and the Muslim Arab Gulf nation United Arab Emirates had censured CAIR.
