nothing necessarily wrong with Muslim values i dont guess - but if a parent wants to spend several thousand dollars funding a private education for their own children so that they can grow up surrounded by members of the community which share the same ideals as the family does - so be it... they dont want this educator spouting off about how the one true God is Allah... or Bathsheba or Buda or the flying spaghetti monster etc etc

and there is the reason she was rejected for the job.

if i want my children to grow up in an environment which reinforces the ideals of my familiy or my familie's scocial circle, i dont want anyone who is likley to try and turn my children away from those values being placed in charge of even one small segment of their overall education.

sounds closed minded perhaps - but children have been raised this way since the first birth on this planet.

might this woman teach math - without bias toward religion one way or another?

maybe

is the school willing to bet tuition money on it?

no
