Should the U.S. government close a private school for hatred?

What is going on in Virginia? A school funded and run by the Saudi government has been investigated by a Federal governmental panel which recommends its closing. Apparently, the school is teaching extremism including hatred for Jews. The school, for its part, denies this.

This really brings up a very clear difficulty. Does the government have a right to investigate religious schools in the U.S. and intervene in the teaching? The difficulty of balancing safety concerns with the religious rights of the school are obvious, even if the religious tenants of the school are disturbing to the vast majority of Americans. Let's just hope that when the school says it's not spreading hate that they're being honest with us. This has the potential to be a very messy situation otherwise.

A private Islamic school supported by the Saudi government should be shut down until the U.S. government can ensure the school is not fostering radical Islam, a federal panel recommends.

In a report released Thursday, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom broadly criticized what it calls a lack of religious freedom in Saudi society and promotion of religious extremism at Saudi schools.

Particular criticism is leveled at the Islamic Saudi Academy, a private school serving nearly 1,000 students in grades K-12 at two campuses in northern Virginia's Fairfax County.

The commission's report says the academy hews closely to the curriculum used at Saudi schools, which they criticism for promoting hated of and intolerance against Jews, Christians, and Shiite Muslims.
