Protests marred the first day of class for about 132 kindergarten and pre-K students at the Houston Independent School District’s new Arabic Immersion Magnet School.
Shortly before 8 am, almost 30 adults spread along the fenced perimeter of the Heights-area school, waving American and Israeli flags while touting protest signs.
“Everything I ever cared to know about Islam was taught to me by Muslims on 9-11-2001,” one sign said. But officials said most students were inside the building once protesters assembled.
