School Officials Say U.S. Panel's Call for Closure Hurt Image (Washington Post)

I'll admit that I do not understand all of the situation but I have followed this story a little it appears awfully unfair that the government can say, without any evidence, that a school is training terrorists in the public and make them prove they are not. This seems to be a pretty clear case of guilty until proven innocent. Ben Franklin said:

"He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither"


Officials of a Northern Virginia Islamic school yesterday criticized a federal commission, saying that the panel unfairly damaged the school's reputation by recommending it be shuttered until it could prove that it is not promoting intolerance and violence through its textbooks.
