Debbie Does Education?
With my apologies to Sesame Street:
One of these things is just like the other.
One of these things tries to hide her hate.
Can you see which thing is just like the other?
And not a victim of hate!
When an abusive personality is exposed they invariably do two things:
1. Start a smear campaign against the truth teller.
this is in order to make sure no one gets to know the truth teller and/or the truth because they need these 'bystanders' to further their abusive agenda.
2. Play victim.
Occasionally the abuser will pretend to be helpless or will act persecuted in order to manipulate others into helping them. Here, the abuser thinks that if he doesn't get what he wants, he is the victim; and he uses the disguise of victim to get back at or make fools of others. Abusers will often claim to be the victim in order to avoid being held accountable by law enforcement.
3. Blame Shift
The abuser shifts responsibility for his actions away from himself and onto others, a shift that allows him to justify his abuse because the other person supposedly "caused" his behavior. (In this case "a small group of fear mongers".... sure we are!!)
O.K. now let's apply some of these above to Baby-Terrorist-Trainer Debbie (Dhaba)Almontaser. Also know as Madam Intifada. Just use your brain... connect the VERY VISIBLE DOTS:
Almontaser Said To Seek Return to Arab School
An educator who resigned as principal of the Arabic-language Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn wants her job back, a group close to her said this morning.
A spokeswoman for a coalition of groups formed to support Dhaba Almontaser, Erica Waples, said today that Ms. Almontaser intends to submit an application to replace a Jewish woman who does not speak Arabic, Danielle Salzberg, who has been acting temporarily as Khalil Gibran's principal.
"As far as I know, she plans to apply," Ms. Waples said.
Ms. Almontaser could call for her reinstatement during a news conference at City Hall later today, her first public appearance since she drew fire for making comments in support of T-shirts promoting an "intifada" in New York City. The appearance comes on the last day the Department of Education is accepting applications for a permanent principal at Khalil Gibran.
Ms. Almontaser's comments could also shed light on the circumstances of her resignation. In a letter sent in August to Chancellor Joel Klein, Ms. Almontaser wrote that she was leaving to protect her school, where she said students and parents were beginning to feel frightened by attacks from opponents. But supporters of the school say Ms. Almontaser was forced out of her job by the Bloomberg administration. Department of Education officials say Ms. Almontaser resigned voluntarily.
Ms. Waples said Ms. Almontaser intends to address today "what she's been going through in the past few months."
Khalil Gibran's program in Arabic language and culture, the first of its kind for a public school in the city, aroused concerns from public officials and community groups, some of whom called for the school to be shut down. One group, Stop the Madrassa, has criticized the school for not releasing its full curriculum and suggested it could become a breeding ground for terrorists.
In her resignation letter, Ms. Almontaser appeared to address the group, calling it "a small group of fear mongers."
Ms. Almontaser drew rebukes from city leaders including the president of the city teachers union, Randi Weingarten, and officials at the Anti-Defamation League after she described T-shirts promoting an "intifada" in New York City as "an opportunity for girls to express that they are part of New York City society… and shaking off oppression." She later recanted.
The T-shirts were made and sold by a group of female Arab American artists that leases space from a Yemeni association Ms. Almontaser founded. The group, Arab Women Active in Art and Media, has been a central backer of the coalition calling for Ms. Almontaser's reinstatement, along with some parents of children at Khalil Gibran and several Christian and Jewish groups.

Wahhh wahhh wahhh... "I am not getting the chance to continue the indoctrination... er, I mean EDUCATION of the students that I soooo wanted to do. Wahhhh wahhh... nobody likes me."
My advice? Let's eep telling the truth about Madam Altomonsers TRUE intentions. Not her "makeover lies."
In abusive situations when you tell the truth--many folks come down you as if you are doing something wrong, "How could you?" They ask, "make life difficult for him? Embarrass him? Humiliate him? Risk his job? His reputation?"
As if everything that happened to you is of no consequence and for god sakes protect the abuser!Secrets are dangerous, for everyone. John Prinn, author of Stolen Hours, has two very good articles on his web site regarding secrets and why you should not keep them. He writes,
Keeping secrets can make us neurotic. Secrets can be so toxic that a person is driven to self destructive and insane acts. Then come the addictions, the violence, the lying and alibis ... even suicide. - J.Prin
And Ms. Almontaser? Come clean!! Stop playing a lamb when we know you are a LION! We all saw under your hijab. We saw what you are. If you honestly think there's some sort of fatwah against you by the people of NYC and the Jews here... then here's the clue phone. The Mothership is waiting for your call.
