Intifada NYC T-Shirt news

School Principal resigns after approving/making comments about a t-shirt. Debbie Almontaser resigned from Khalil Gibran International Academy (English/Arabic School) in Brooklyn. Almontaser was under pressure because of comments made to the New York Post about an “Intifada NYC” T-shirt that is sold by an activist group which shares an office with the Yemeni-American association that Almontaser represents. The day before she condemned the T-shirt message’s connection to Palestinian terrorism, Almontaser told the Post that “intifada” meant “shaking off” and the shirts represented women “shaking off” oppression. The comments infuriated the city’s United Federation of Teachers president, Randi Weingarten, who called the message “war-mongering”.You can check out the Fox News article as well as the original New York Post article.
