Abaarso Tech Press Release:
A recent article in
Halbeeg News falsely claimed that one of our teachers was the headmaster of
Abaarso Tech, and that Halbeeg has proof that this teacher told female students
not to wear headscarves.
I am the Abaarso Tech Headmaster and I can strongly say that Abaarso Tech is a Muslim school that would expel any female student who does not wear a headscarf, and would discipline or fire any teacher who told students not to wear a headscarf. It is in the Abaarso Tech Student Handbook that all female students must wear head-scarves. In addition, it is expected that even all female American teachers at Abaarso Tech wear head-scarves in public. Anyone who has seen the Abaarso Tech female teachers would know that in fact they always respectfully cover themselves in class and when in public.
Unfortunately, this type
of misleading story about Abaarso Tech is often told by individuals who try to
damage Abaarso Tech for their personal benefit. These individuals cannot
attack Abaarso Tech’s academic success, so instead they try to portray the
Americans as corrupting the religion. Here are the facts:
Abaarso Tech has a large
mosque on campus and all teachers sign a document that they will respect Islam
and will not teach any other religions.
Abaarso Tech has recently
implemented intense measures to keep male and female separation at all times.
Students breaking the rules face harsh punishments including long
suspensions and expulsions.
Abaarso Tech has extremely
tough policies against cheating and Abaarso Tech teaches Muslim values such as
honesty and integrity. Students who break the cheating policies face
suspensions and expulsion.
If anyone has evidence of
Abaarso Tech students or teachers acting in an inappropriate manner against
Islam, then please bring this evidence to my attention so we can immediately
act to correct the situation. This includes any evidence that Halbeeg
News claims to possess.
Finally, anyone who wants
to know more about Abaarso Tech’s commitment to Islamic values should come
visit the school so they can make their own judgement Abaarso
Tech is committed to becoming a great school that properly respects the Islamic
religion.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Starr
