Taxpayer-funded Minneapolis HS building Islamic prayer room for Muslim students

A Minneapolis-area school district has announced plans to install a dedicated prayer room and foot-washing station for Muslim students at two of its high schools, because nothing says "public education" like turning taxpayer-funded buildings into mini-mosques.

The Osseo Area Schools confirmed to Alpha News reporter Liz Collin that the remodel at Park Center Senior High School includes a prayer room, while foot-washing stations are being added to Osseo Senior High School.

The prayer room and foot-washing stations were apparently slipped into the updated plans for the district’s "Building a Better Future" initiative, a roughly 375 million dollar effort that voters approved in 2022 and 2023. Because what better way to build a better future than by renovating schools to accommodate one specific religion's rituals?

But school officials later told the Daily Mail that the Park Center Senior High School’s plans actually call for a “multipurpose space” which was “mislabeled in construction documents” as a prayer room.

“The space could be used for prayer, or other student or staff multipurpose needs throughout the day,” said Kay Villella, executive director of school and community relations.District officials also said the foot-washing plans “were included in updated plans after hearing from user groups on student needs.”

Osseo Area Schools officials have confirmed that the renovations at Park Center Senior High School will include a prayer room.

This is the pattern we have seen again and again. One-way accommodation. One-way deference. The West bends, Islam does not. The institutions of a free society, funded by the taxes of its citizens, are quietly repurposed to serve a parallel legal and moral order that regards our own as inferior. And the elites who preside over this process congratulate themselves on their tolerance, even as they surrender the very principles, secularism, equality before the law, freedom of conscience, that once defined the civilisation they claim to uphold.

It is not multiculturalism at work here. It is cultural replacement by stealth, aided and abetted by a political class too frightened or too ideologically captured to say what is plain: that no other faith demands, and receives, such institutional surrender in the heart of the West. The question is no longer whether this will continue, but how long the public will tolerate it before the consequences become impossible to ignore.
