CLIFTON PARK - In an effort to establish cultural literacy, the Shenendehowa East High School has reserved a room for students to pray during Ramadan.

The month-long holiday observance begins Friday evening and the designated prayer room is meant to accommodate students of the Muslim faith whom the local Imam says face harassment when they try to pray – an essentially practice during the holy month.

"There is so much pressure on the students," said Halfmoon Imam Mohammad Radie. "Basically, we requested the room for Ramadan prayers, for them to be able to practice their religion in security. Thankfully, the school responded."

But some parents are not happy.

Rebecca Fretto said that the district has crossed a line.

"It has opened a Pandora's box," Fretto said. "If I was a Devil worshipper, would I get a room?"

Investigators are focusing on a series of meetings held by Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and an influential White House adviser, as part of their probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and related matters, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Kushner, who held meetings in December with the Russian ambassador and a banker from Moscow , is being investigated because of the extent and nature of his interactions with the Russians, the people said.

The Washington Post reported last week that a senior White House official close to the president was a significant focus of the high-stakes investigation, though it did not name Kushner.
