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?
