Speaker 1: Taxi around.
Speaker 2: This is the seventy seven w ABC Mini cast.
Speaker 3: I'm saluting boy George because sometimes you got to stand
Speaker 3: up and you got to do what's right, even if
Speaker 3: it means going against the grain.
Speaker 2: You have to stand up and you have to do
Speaker 2: what's right.
Speaker 3: Boy George one standing up for Jewish Americans.
Speaker 4: Do you know any Jewish people look at the choir?
Speaker 2: It's so weird.
Speaker 4: I've kind of had a lot of abuse online for
Speaker 4: my support of my Jewish friends, but for me personally,
Speaker 4: you know, growing up, I've had so many beautiful Jewish
Speaker 4: friends and I still have. Being asked to kind of
Speaker 4: turn against the whole race of people is just not
Speaker 4: acceptable to me, and I'm getting a love abuse for it,
Speaker 4: but I don't really care. I think music is about
Speaker 4: bringing people together, not separating them. You know, and Culture
Speaker 4: Club what we were in the beginning. We were a
Speaker 4: multicultural man, an irishman, a Jewish drummer, Anglo saxon guitarist.
Speaker 4: You know, we were a mixture of cultures. That was
Speaker 4: the whole point of calling herself culture Club.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: We used to wear the Jewish star and have Jewish
Speaker 4: writing on her clothes. I think it's really about your
Speaker 4: relationships with people. Do you know what I mean. I
Speaker 4: just I don't choose my friends based on their race,
Speaker 4: or their sexuality or their age. I chieve people because
Speaker 4: I like them because they're good people. And I know
Speaker 4: lots of amazing Jewish people. If you don't know any
Speaker 4: Jewish people, maybe that's the problem.
Speaker 3: And so thank you DMS for directing that my way.
Speaker 3: I do have a lot of respect for my man,
Speaker 3: boy George of Culture Club and Go Figure, Go Figure America.
Speaker 3: I met Michael Jackson. I had an audience with Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3: I brought my daughter. He talked to my daughter. I
Speaker 3: thought she was gonna faint. She didn't faint.
Speaker 2: But I met.
Speaker 3: Michael Jackson and I never met boy George.
Speaker 2: I don't know how that is.
Speaker 3: I respect boy George's hustle from back in the day
Speaker 3: when he used to dress like a woman right now.
Speaker 3: It worked for boy George, but not for Dennis Rodman. Notice,
Speaker 3: Boy George, to my recollection never told us with a
Speaker 3: straight face that he was a woman, even though when
Speaker 3: he got made up he looked pretty good. But what
Speaker 3: we're also going to deal with the arrogance of a
Speaker 3: school district in California. Can you say, pay out a
Speaker 3: lot of money for your stupid antics. I'm also dealing
Speaker 3: with this hour A major no no from a school
Speaker 3: district in California. It's important that I say this upfront.
Speaker 3: I have some respect. I have some respect for the
Speaker 3: Muslim community. But enough we're trying to throw it down
Speaker 3: our throats, and enough with all these mosque I'll say it.
Speaker 3: What's the point of having all these mosque if you.
Speaker 2: Want to pray.
Speaker 3: On the street anyway and inconvenience everyone. Eight hundred eight.
Speaker 2: Four eight nine two two two. I want you to
Speaker 2: listen to this carefully.
Speaker 3: This a report in terms of a lawsuit that's been
Speaker 3: filed for what happened at a school district in California.
Speaker 3: A major no no. They took the kids on a
Speaker 3: school trip.
Speaker 2: To a mosque. Why in the world would you do that?
Speaker 2: Listen to this.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 6: One has to forcibly put a h job on someone
Speaker 6: or forcibly quiz somebody on the Kuran to make this
Speaker 6: case a serious problem.
Speaker 5: A Palo Alto High school field trip to a mosque
Speaker 5: glass Fall is now being disputed in a lawsuit. The
Speaker 5: recently filed complaint says students were encouraged to wear Islamic
Speaker 5: religious attire, given copies of the Qoran, and observed prayer
Speaker 5: during a visit to the Muslim Community Association. It also
Speaker 5: states that students were involved in a Quran memorization program,
Speaker 5: and according to the lawsuit, students were photographed inside the
Speaker 5: mosque in the religious attire. Those images later shared publicly
Speaker 5: without parental consent.
Speaker 6: A combination of pure pressure, social pressure, and an academic
Speaker 6: program all in one.
Speaker 5: David Rosenberg Wall as the attorney representing the parents, former students,
Speaker 5: and community members behind the lawsuit, many of whom are Jewish.
Speaker 5: The group suing the district says the alleged actions violated
Speaker 5: federal and state laws governing religion in public schools.
Speaker 6: The government has no business promoting a faith.
Speaker 5: The pale Alto Unified School District Superintendent Jason Glass tells
Speaker 5: Kronford they learned about the lawsuit through news coverage and
Speaker 5: had not been served as of Monday. He points to
Speaker 5: district policy saying, in part quote, instruction about religion in
Speaker 5: our schools must be academic, not devotional. No faith may
Speaker 5: be promoted, and no faith may be denigrated. Glass says
Speaker 5: every family in the district is entitled to expect that
Speaker 5: standard and says he will review the district's practices against it.
Speaker 2: And so that report from California.
Speaker 3: And I.
Speaker 2: Repeat what I just said.
Speaker 3: I have some respect for the Muslim community, but I'm
Speaker 3: being frank with you, America. Why are you trying to
Speaker 3: throw this down our throats? And enough with all these
Speaker 3: mosque What do you need all these mosques for.
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: I don't think that's Islamophobic at all. What I just said.
Speaker 3: I'm asking legitimate questions. Why in the world.
Speaker 2: Would you take kids on a school trip to a mosque?
Speaker 2: One two?
Speaker 3: Tell all the females have put on a hit job
Speaker 3: that are on the school trip. Why would you do that?
Speaker 3: And why would you give students copies of the Quran?
Speaker 3: Why would you do that? You don't give them copies
Speaker 3: of the Bible. Why would you give them copies of
Speaker 3: the Quran? Why would that?
Speaker 2: Why would you do that?
Speaker 3: Kaching, It's time for the school district to pay out.
Speaker 3: I want you to listen to this pastor because this
Speaker 3: stuff is dividing America. A pastor that during the campaign,
Speaker 3: President Trump went to see him, and this pastor is
Speaker 3: speaking out saying enough, and this isn't a Black pastor,
Speaker 3: an African American pastor that enough is enough as far
Speaker 3: as relations between the different communities.
Speaker 2: Listen to this.
Speaker 7: Pastor, Lorezzo Sula had the honor and the privilege of
Speaker 7: being a senior pastor of one Ady church where President
Speaker 7: Donald Trump came for his birthday weekend. It was there
Speaker 7: that I had an opportunity to over the President and
Speaker 7: it was at that moment that he told me I
Speaker 7: would pray at the inauguration and I would be able
Speaker 7: to preach.
Speaker 2: At the rededication.
Speaker 7: The reason why I'm here today because Dear Born, in
Speaker 7: all of your prosperity and everything that you've done, the
Speaker 7: spirit of Hubbard is still in this city. The spirit
Speaker 7: of racism still dwells in this city.
Speaker 1: This is a city that has prospered with your mosque
Speaker 1: and your call to prayer. But yet it's on the
Speaker 1: back of my people. It's on the back of black
Speaker 1: people that we have funded everything you do. You look
Speaker 1: down on us, your police in act injustice on us.
Speaker 2: And when Jake.
Speaker 1: Laine talked about Jesus, he was assaulted because you are
Speaker 1: not under American law, you are up under sharial law.
Speaker 1: That is the reason why you have made nor rest
Speaker 1: you laugh.
Speaker 2: You are three.
Speaker 1: Generations of racism in this very city. You know it.
Speaker 1: You have seen what has happened in this city. And
Speaker 1: it is my people that it funded you. It's my
Speaker 1: people that made sure that you have what you have.
Speaker 1: And you spit on us, you degrade us. But you're
Speaker 1: only one percent of this nation. We are not a
Speaker 1: nation of Muslims. We are a nation of Christians. We
Speaker 1: are one nation under God, indivisible, the God of the Bible,
Speaker 1: the God of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the God
Speaker 1: in whom we serve.
Speaker 2: I want you to.
Speaker 1: Prove to me we're not up under sharia law. Will
Speaker 1: you denounce Counselmen Ralli, Will you denounce Sharia law? Will
Speaker 1: you denounced Sharia law?
Speaker 2: Will you do? I know you won't.
Speaker 1: Will you denounce Sharia law? Abraham, you went to Hillsdale.
Speaker 2: Will you renown Sharia law?
Speaker 1: Will you renoun Sharia law?
Speaker 2: America?
Speaker 1: We have lost this city. This is a city that
Speaker 1: is no longer up under American laws. We are under Sharia.
Speaker 2: Law, and we will not have it anymore. Enough is enough.
Speaker 3: There is a divide growing in America.
