Muslim Educator's Dream Falls Short

Critics can have you so dismayed that you give up on your dream. Debbie Almontaser learned this the hard way when critics stepped in to criticize her school:

The school’s creation provoked a controversy so incendiary that Ms. Almontaser stepped down as the founding principal just weeks before classes began last September. Ms. Almontaser, a teacher by training and an activist who had carefully built ties with Christians and Jews, said she was forced to resign by the mayor’s office following a campaign that pitted her against a chorus of critics who claimed she had a militant Islamic agenda.

Did they have proof as to the nature of her agenda?
