Minnesota is a joke. It’s the home of Walter Mondale, Jesse Ventura and Keith Ellison. Now, Blaine High School in Minnesota is forcing students to sing songs with Arabic words, including the phrase “Allahu Akbar”.

Some parents in the Anoka-Hennepin School District are questioning a choir teacher’s decision to use a song about Ramadan performed in Arabic at a holiday concert.
At Thursday night’s concert at Blaine High School, one of the songs students will be singing includes Arabic words, including the phrase “Allahu Akbar,” which means “God is great.”
Christian and Jewish songs will be performed as well, but the Ramadan song is getting all the attention.
It started with a post on Facebook. A parent of a ninth-grade Blaine choir student posted the lyrics to the song the choir has been practicing. When others learned students would be singing the song on Thursday, the comments took a turn.
It’s funny. If you do a Christian prayer in a school, it causes all kinds of problems. Yet songs to sing Allahu Ackbar are allowed? Minnesota sucks.
