Here's some good news for a change. On Wednesday I posted this story it's nice to see it had a happy ending.
New Orleans Police Chief Eddie Compass reversed his decision to hire Captain Dennis Muhammad of the Nation of Islam to conduct sensitivity training for his police officers. Muhammad is a top aide to Louis Farrakhan and affiliated with a group that has a history of controversy. Farrakhan has made anti-White and anti-Semitic statements for many years and has denounced this country while praising dictators in foreign countries. One of his chief lieutenants made some of the vilest and offensive comments ever made about the leader of the Catholic Church. After our reporting of the situation yesterday in Bayoubuzz.com, our column was picked up by the national news site, The Drudge Report. Soon thereafter, the Catholic League discovered what was happening and the President of that organization, William Donohue, fired off a letter to all members of the New Orleans City Council urgin! g that the city not affiliate with anyone tied to the Nation of Islam. Scores of police officers and Jewish leaders also registered strong complaints. Luckily, Compass cancelled the contract with Muhammad and will seek sensitivity training from other sources. He made a mistake and was mature enough to realize his error and take action.
