Muslim Principal Sued for Discrimination Against Christians

Debbie Schlussel

DETROIT, MI–The Law Offices of Debbie Schlussel, a Detroit-area law firm, yesterday announced the filing of a federal lawsuit against Imad Fadlallah, the Muslim man who was, until July, the principal of Dearborn’s Fordson High School, a tax-funded public high school, the student body of which is overwhelmingly Muslim (more than 90%). The suit is also against Fadlallah’s employer at all times relevant to the actions referred to in the suit, the Dearborn Public Schools, which, as noted in the complaint, was aware of the behavior alleged in the suit. 
 
As stated in the lawsuit, the action was filed by Schlussel’s clients, Bryan Purcell and Georgene Stergalas, over the continued harassment of them by Fadlallah and other school personnel because they are Christian and not Muslim or of Arabic heritage.  The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
 
As asserted in the complaint, this was part of Mr. Fadlallah’s grand plan to rid Fordson of non-Muslim and non-Arab teachers and to exact vengeance on teachers who did not comply with social norms of “the [Islamic] community,” when it came to Mr. Fadlallah’s alleged corporal punishment of students. 
 
 
According to the lawsuit, Mr. Fadlallah is the cousin of the recently deceased Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, the spiritual leader of Hezbollah, who issued the fatwah [Islamic religious decree] calling for the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks and Embassy in Beirut, killing over 300 U.S. officials and Marines.  Hezbollah is on the State Department terrorist list and is a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist Entity (SDGTE).”  As also stated in the suit, Mr. Fadlallah is the son-in-law of Nabih Berri, leader of Harakat Amal [the Shi'ite Amal Militia], which has essentially merged with Hezbollah.  As alleged in the lawsuit, Mr. Fadlallah gave students the day off and extra credit to campaign against Christian candidates in the City of Dearborn and in favor of Muslim candidates endorsed by his associates at the Arab American Political Action Committee.
 
*** HOW YOU CAN HELP: The Law Offices of Debbie Schlussel is a one-woman, shoe-string budget operation, in which most cases involving the defense of Western values, including freedom of speech and religion for Christians and Jews, are taken on a pro bono [free] or contingency basis.  Your support for its continuing endeavors to continue to pursue matters such as the instant action is appreciated.  You can either use the yellow buttons on the right of her website page, or you can prevent the PayPal fees by going to PayPal and sending it directly to:  writedebbie@gmail.com.  No amount is too small.***
 
Purcell and Stergalas are award-winning teachers, both of whom have received national, state, and local awards, honors, and recognition for their teaching, and several of their students have also received national, state, and local honors, awards, and recognition. Both teachers created innovative, cutting-edge curricula for the Dearborn Public Schools District.  Purcell teaches science and math, and Stergalas teaches business and marketing.  Despite that, as alleged in the complaint, they were repeatedly harassed, and their work environment was hostile.
 
As stated in the complaint, Ms. Stergalas was approached by a Muslim student who told her Mr. Fadlallah hit him, and he asked for her advice.  She told the student to report it to authorities.  As a result, the harassment of Ms. Stergalas, directed by Mr. Fadlallah, escalated.
 
Included among the harassment described in the complaint, Mr. Fadlallah deliberately scheduled two separate classes during the same period of the day in opposite ends of the school building, making it physically impossible to comply with the schedule. This was done to both complainants, Mr. Purcell and Ms. Stergalas.  As further alleged in the complaint, Mr. Fadlallah and Ms. Stergalas were deliberately assigned the worst students, in terms of discipline and academics, in a measure to drive them out of Fordson High School. And, as stated in the complaint, students were encouraged to cause problems and fabricate false, negative reports against Mr. Purcell and Ms. Stergalas.
 
As also stated in the complaint, Mr. Purcell has Type I diabetes, and among Mr. Fadlallah’s means of harassment was to schedule Mr. Purcell’s classes at the times when doctors specifically noted Mr. Purcell needed to have his lunch break to take his required shots and medication and eat his required food, lest he go into shock.  As also stated in the complaint, Mr. Fadlallah forbade Mr. Purcell from required shots and eat his required food during parent teacher conferences.
 
The lawsuit claims violations of both the U.S. and Michigan Constitutions and statutes, including the First Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Michigan’s Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act, the Michigan Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act, and the Michigan Whistleblowers’ Protection Act.  Both Mr. Purcell and Ms. Stergalas are seeking injunctive and declaratory relief, damages, and other relief.
 
As previously noted, the Law Offices of Debbie Schlussel is a private law firm, which in addition to performing other legal work, defends and promotes Western values, including freedom of speech and religion for Christians and Jews.  Debbie Schlussel also defends non-Muslims and moderates against unjust criminal allegations designed to silence them.  Among the matters in which attorney Debbie Schlussel has successfully prevailed, are:
 
*  Haitham Masri et al v. Ron Wolf, in which a Shi’ite Muslim doctor and open supporter of HAMAS and Hezbollah sued an indigent Jewish man, Ron Wolf, in an attempt to silence Mr. Wolf from talking about Mr. Masri’s unethical medical practices and the extremist Shi’ite mosque to which he belongs.  Schlussel represented Mr. Wolf pro bono and prevailed in getting the lawsuit dropped, as it was little more than an attempt by a wealthy Muslim to squelch the First Amendment speech rights of an indigent Jewish man.  Schlussel also exposed Dr. Masri’s fraudulent divorce, which was a transparent Islamic attempt to fraudulently convey property to avoid collection of judgments against him in American courts.  Mr. Masri’s daughter, Lena Masri, is a lawyer for a militant Islamic “civil rights” group.
 
*  People/State of Michigan v. “Haidar” [real name redacted for security reasons], in which Schlussel successfully defended “Haidar,” a moderate Shi’ite Muslim. He was framed for a violent crime because he voiced his support for Israel and opposition to Hezbollah and married a Jewish woman.  Schlussel represented Haidar pro bono.  He was an informant for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  Haidar’s primary accuser, Ali Taleb, is a wanted terrorist in Lebanon and an agent of Hezbollah, who lies in the Detroit area.  After a two-day trial in which the judge severely limited the exculpatory evidence Schlussel wished to present in her client’s defense, the jury returned with two unanimous “NOT GUILTY” verdicts for Haidar, after less than 25 minutes of deliberations.

Fadlallah et al, you can either use the yellow buttons on the right of Debbie Schlussel’s website, or you can prevent the PayPal fees by going to PayPal and sending it directly to:  writedebbie@gmail.com.  No amount is too small.  Your support means more efforts like those described herein.

Time to get rid of another biased Principal. Why is this obvious terrorist even teaching in an American school, let alone letting him live here. He would be happier going back 1000 years in the middle east, where you considered a real Man when you beat Women and children. Pathetic.

I hope someone sues you as you are obviously fighting for people who are pro Israel and clearly have a bias and discriminatory yourself,unfortunately. You are a lawyer that should clearly be at the top of the SIOA crowd if you aren't already. That are pro Israel and deny any crime or wrong doing. I mean even as a lawyer you are biased against those who you serve. How can you possibly be a defender of all when you are one sided. And if this principal is proven by facts to be one sided he should get punished, just like you for discriminatory business practices.

I think Dearborn should be leveled and rebuilt as it was in the past.

If believing in freedom of religion and practicing said relegion without bias, and respecting Woman and Children,
and refraining from treating non-Muslims as a lower level of humanity is pathetic, I'll wear that as a badge of Honor.

just a quick statement, any white,black,arab,muslim or anyperson who attends fordson knows what type of teacher Mr. Purcell is. He is mentally and physically uncapable of teaching high school students.

It sounds to me like the armies of Fadlallah have been mustered to respond negatively (and with the expected third-world grammar and nonsensical arguments) to this post/lawsuit.

Color me not-at-all-shocked.

You're doing the Lord's work, Debbie. Keep it up!

Debbie, I feel so bad for you. You are just an angry person who is full of hate, I bet you even hate yourself. You probably wake up every morning hating the fact that you woke up again. I think you need islam in your life. I verhope you get the help you need to become a better person. May Allah help you.

Born and raised in Detroit, now in Phoenix and a former soldier in the U.S. Army. The aliens that our visit our planet; say they decide to make contact with the human race. Assume that they are hostitle. Would you band together with your HUMAN brothers? You're scared. Scarerd that all your dogmatic doctrine will become nothing more than something to wipe your backside with. God/Allah made other intelligent beings. Maybe we're not so special at all. But I'm all right because this will all be over soon.

This is such bullcrap. First off, Mrs. stergalas was not even a good teacher at all. she would sit in her desk comlaining all day about the horrible students she had and when she was mad, she would yell and it was dumb. we did not even get through all the lesson we were supposed to go through. Im sorry, but I dont know why she is sueing. Its ridicoulous. She is not in the ability to teach on my opinion. As far as Mr. Purcell, well I dont know him that well, I never had him, But my rother did and he would always say how unfair he was in grading. So I dont have anything to say about himm. I really think this lawsuit is stupid and uncalled for.

From this Moslem exremist (possibly redundant?) shill Fadlallah obviously placed by the equally racist DPS (Department of Public Stupidity), to Helen Thomas who should take her own advice and go back to her hezbolla hellhole but not before relinquishing all the benefits of being an American to the first dispossesed Native American she sees. to a "haram" Dearborn nose butcher Dr.Haitham Moremoney. who justifies lying to a fellow Moslem, no less a Jew, or a Christian I guess in the name of some sick "Jihad", some ONE must take a stand. Thank you Debby for taking that stand, and chokrun for coming to our defense and having the courage to cry warning! Their recipe for your destruction and eventually their own is all in the "Hadith" and you do not have to read between the lines.
