NEW PRINCIPAL 'CHOSEN

Whether you support or oppose this highly controversial Arabic-themed school (personally, I'm open to the experiment, especially now that the principal-with-all-time-bad-judgment is gone), you gotta admit that this appointment is brilliant!

A Jewish  educator who can't utter a phrase of Arabic has been tapped to head the city's controversial Arabic-themed school, officials announced yesterday.  
 
In a shocking move, the Department of Education named Danielle Salzberg interim acting principal of the Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn. Salzberg will replace Debbie Almontaser, who resigned under pressure last Friday because of her remarks to The Post defending "Intifada  NYC" T-shirts.
