Lewin, Tamar. “A Matter of Mosque & State.” New York Times UpFront Oct 2007: SIRS Researcher. SIRS Knowledge Source. Edina High School. 9 Dec 2008 http://sirs.com
The New York Times has always been a reliable source so when the articles pertaining to religion based school problems arose, it was okay to be cited. Lewin tells of a story from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, in which bathrooms started to have pools of water develop on the ground because Muslim Students were using the sinks to complete a religious action, washing of the feet. Soon enough the school decided for a plan to build washing stations in several restrooms using $25,000. As soon as word got out, problems arose with the supposed favoring of a certain religion. As it was stated in the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Question is, is this what Michigan is going against?
