Muslim school nixes teacher who told students Adam and Eve are 'not real'

An argument over Adam and Eve between a city-paid teacher and third-graders at a private Muslim school has landed the instructor in pedagogical purgatory, The Post has learned.

English teacher Nina Kossman committed the sin of “telling the truth,” she said of her expulsion from the Razi School in Woodside, Queens, which uses taxpayer-funded city Department of Education teachers in a federally mandated program for poor kids.

Kossman infuriated parents by telling their children that Adam is “not real.” She noted that Judaism, Christianity and Islam share the myth, thinking it would “help build up tolerance” for other faiths. She also inadvertently showed kids a classical painting of the first couple as imagined in the Garden of Eden — nude.

A group of angry parents showed up at the school the next day to complain that she “discussed Jews with them and showed them pictures of naked people,” Kossman said Imani Al-Amin, an assistant to the principal, told her.

“The parents were in shock — in a fury,” the assistant said, according to Kossman. “You have to understand that this is a different environment.”

Last week, Kossman was cast out of Razi and exiled to a DOE “rubber room,” a Queens office used for educators facing discipline. While she does nothing but menial paperwork, taxpayers foot her $90,000 salary.

The only real issue I have here, is why was a tax payer funded teacher teaching at a private religious school.

I am a Southern Baptist Christian with Iraqi Sunni Muslim friends. Neither my friends nor myself agree about everything, obviously, and I might also add the word sadly. But they are like family to me, Joanna and her niece Maryam. If someone matters to you, such as these kids possibly mattering to that teacher, or like my friends in Iraq who definitely matter to me, sometimes you just have to let go of the things of controversy, and love the people who matter. It's not up to me to convict. That matter is up to God. This teacher shouldnt give a hoot regardless, because it sounds like she has no belief in a God period! So she just needs to let it go! My gosh...

How do you think religious type 'charter schools' and vouchers using Title I programs work that certain persons in our government keep promoting? This kind of thing isn't just going towards Islam-based religious schools, but schools of all different faiths using taxpaying dollars. She's an English teacher, so I don't really know why she thought dropping hints about Adam and Eve and nude paintings was a good idea for third-graders (it wouldn't be at any religious school). The original NYPost article highlights an entirely inappropriate conversation she began with her students. She broke the entire protocol, and should be fired.

I totally agree with this because anyone even remotely familiar with the charter school systems knows that this is how they operate by using state and federal tax dollars, it does not matter if they are religious or not. I was wondering as well why an English teacher is bringing up Adam and Eve, it is pretty peculiar really. Also why did she think nude paintings were going to be ok at a religious school? I knew a hardcore Christian religious school down the street where I grew up, they would spank you if your shorts/dresses were to short, so I would hate to see what they would do about this.

 I think a teacher who accepts employment a non-secular private school should be able to adhere to the mission statement and vision of the school. I wouldn't say they have to be on board or completely agree with it, but they have to be comfortable with it. There are plenty of different schools out there. I'm really not sure why she put herself in that position.

Because she's an idiot.

 

Anyways, I'm still adjusting to the fact that Canada has public Catholic schools.
