The Saudi school's alumni include Omar Abu Ali, an al-Qaida operative convicted of plotting to assassinate President Bush. Ali graduated valedictorian, and the school proudly published another superlative for him in its yearbook: "Voted Most Likely to be a Martyr," a caption under his photo read.

Don't expect the ACLU to oppose the county government's involvement with the madrassa. After all, the ACLU hates and seeks to destroy Christianity, not Islam. Otherwise, they'd screech and scream about "separation of mosque and state", rather than their biggest fetish, the myth of "separation of church and state".
