Houston district opens ‘Arabic Immersion School’ to create ‘global citizens’

HOUSTON – About 130 Houston student will attend a new Arabic immersion school next year, where they will learn to speak Arabic as they learn “to be truly global citizens.”

“With kids who learn Arabic, as a parent you’re going to set them up for success, as a teacher you’re going to challenge them to do the best they can, but that skill of learning Arabic and being fluent in it really can be life-changing for a Houston kid,” Kate Adams, the principal of Houston Independent School District’s Arabic Immersion Magnet School, told Houston Public Media.

“In addition to the students being fully functionally bilingual in Arabic and English, the bigger goal for me is that I want our students to be truly global citizens,” she said. “And so that doesn’t just mean language fluency or cultural fluency. It’s kind of how you look at the world and how you interact with the world.”

Click 2 Houston reports Arabic is the second most common foreign language spoken by Houston students, presumably behind Spanish. The school is scheduled to launch next year with two pre-kindergarten classes focused on Modern Standard Arabic. Officials plan to add a new grade level each year until those students reach fifth grade.

What they don’t tell you is that the “immersion” is in sulfuric acid.

Lived in Egypt, etc. Probably wears a whatever they call it.

You probably could have caught her celebrating Kwanzaa with her students at one time or another.

First, teach them to be truly American citizens. What is a ‘global’ citizen? Where do they derive their rights from ‘globally’?

It’s just more liberal nonsense. I suspect it’s a hidden attempt to have the state pay for a madras.

The core of the problem is socialized schooling. We need to go back to free market schooling.

IIRC, affirmatively importing Muslims goes back to Bush I. Before that, Middle Easterners immigrating to the US were more likely to be Christian.

Kate, another affirmative action Principal, doesn’t seem to realize she’s just another useful idiot for the NWO tyrants.

Her learned hatred for all things American won’t let her see that once our culture is dead and gone, we’re just another secular nation, just limping along in life.

And she can kiss her own freedoms, that she so foolishly squandered, good bye.

Islam is at war with Western Civilization, and always has been. The current leaders of Western Civilization just pretend it isn’t true.

c’mon give them a break. 1.8 billion people believe in Islam. The VAST majority of them live in poverty and illiteracy. Here they want to coat tail and obama wants to support them.

Just goes to show you the power of importing aliens and importing poverty.

The poor falkers are so backwards they think they are ahead! and that includes that POS BO

“..They’re doing this in Texas”

More out of control liberalness fundamentally changing the USA to Islam. There probably is an underlying church and state issue involved here.
