On another page of her website for this educational center in Hurst, Texas, DOCTOR Aminah Knight spells it "Leaning."

Knight is the organizer behind an exclusively Muslim event at a Epic Waters - an 80,000 square foot indoor waterpark funded by a 0.25% sales tax hike that locals approved in the 2014 election. A "Muslim only" event would exclude most of these locals, despite them paying for the park with their tax dollars!

You have to laugh to keep from crying at it all.

Knight has a BS in Childhood/Special Education from NYU, a MA in Teaching from USC, and her Ed.D. in Leadership and Learning in Organizations from Vanderbilt. She was certified as a teacher in the state of New York.

But her English proficiency is so low that she (or the person who made her website) misspelled "Learning." Twice.

Knight started her Learing Center during Covid in 2020, which makes one wonder if public tax money may have been used through loans or grants, especially since she has expanded from in-home Learing to two brick-and-mortar centers in six years.

If all that wasn't absurd enough, a local waterpark in blood-red Texas didn't even have the backbone to tell the illiterate Muslim lady that she can't rent out a taxpayer-funded waterpark for a religious event with a strict Islamic dress code.

After Texas Gov. Greg Abbott got wind of the event, Knight tried to claim that the event was not "Muslim only."
