One of the city's (New York) newest public schools is named for poet who promoted peace and published his most famous work while living in New York, but there has been little peace for the Khalil Gibran International Academy.
With a little more than a week remaining until the academic year starts, the school - announced in February as the city's first to offer instruction in Arabic and on Arab culture - already has had to move once and has its second principal, both because of protests.
Critics have attacked the school, named for a Lebanese Christian, as a potential radical Islam training ground.
