A teacher in Florida is being investigated for showing her students the Disney movie “Strange World”. Unfortunately for the teacher and her class, the mother of one of her students is a school board member and, in her words: “God did put me here”.

When I was on a visit to Seoul in 1976 I saw a big mosque that I was told had been financed by Mid East business interests. I wonder how it is faring. I didn’t go inside, but it was a nice looking building on the outside. Here it is > **[Seoul Central Mosque: First Mosque In Korea - The Seoul Guide](https://www.theseoulguide.com/seoul-central-mosque/)** > > Seoul Central Mosque is Korea's first and Seoul's only mosque or masjid.

It’s a beautiful building, IMHO, much better looking than the other buildings in the neighborhood. I’ve taken my wife to see it, although we had to go into different rooms since they segregate the men and women during prayers. The last time I was there was in 2000 just before the pandemic caused travel disruptions. At that time, there were notices about the upcoming renovation of the complex. It is, after all, an old building now. When I first went there back in the late 1970s, I was given a nice bilingual Qur’an (Arabic/English). Today, you can buy bilingual Qur’an in a number of languages at a just downhill from the mosque. The [Wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul_Central_Mosque) has this interesting bit of history: > President [Park Chung-hee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Chung-hee) offered the Korean Muslim Federation land on which to build a proper mosque as a gesture of good will to potential Middle Eastern allies for the still young Republic of Korea.[[3]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul_Central_Mosque#cite_note-:2-3) The governments of [Saudi Arabia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia) and several other Middle Eastern nations responded by providing funds to aid in the construction of the mosque.[[2]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul_Central_Mosque#cite_note-:1-2) Most of the funds came from Saudi Arabia.[[4]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul_Central_Mosque#cite_note-4) ---

Thank you so much for the update! I still wish I’d had time to see it. I’m not Muslim but I do know some of the rules for behavior and think I wouldn’t have been too much of an ugly American. ---
