The 1999 valedictorian of the Islamic Saudi Academy is now serving life in prison for a jihad plot to kill President George W. Bush. The school has been found to teach Islamic supremacism, including the death penalty for apostates. But the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors is poised to approve a plan to expand the school -- what could go wrong?

They're meeting on this today at 3PM Eastern. Pamela has the details and a great deal of background. Please be there if you can, armed with facts about the school, what it has taught, and the significance of its connections to the Saudis.
