Officials from the Tarik ibn Zayad Academy attacked two reporters who were following up on the schools trouble with the board of education. It seems the publicly funded school is run by people who aren’t big on the whole Separation of Church and State concept and are using tax payer money to run a Saudi style Madrassa.

Once the public found out and the blogs were involved the school was slapped on the wrist by the local officials and told to straighten up and fly right. At TIZA that must mean something completely different than it does where I’m from:

In an attempt to report about the new findings from the Department of Education, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS went to TiZA. While on school grounds, our crew was attacked by school officials. Our photographer was injured while wrestling with the two men over the camera.

Our photographer was examined by paramedics and suffered minor injuries.

Something tells me that the the school officials haven’t taken the media’s insistence that Islam is a religion of peace to heart. KSTP has video of the attack so you can see how outrageous it is. And Yes, the officials attacked the reporters in front of dozens of children. The Strib has a report on what has put the school officials in such a bad mood.
