Arabic culture was to be integrated into the curriculum in elementary and intermediate schools, then offered as a language credit in the middle and high schools. Davis, Cross Timbers and Howard are feeder schools to Summit High School.
Watched this on the news last night. I never got the answer to why Arabic? Why not Chinese, Hindu, Russian or any other language more relevant?
“part of developing the curiculum”
Its already been developed by CAIR no doubt.
Would they fund a curriculum for teaching about Christianity or Buddism,etc.
Whose tax dollars are paying for this kind of program?
It was going to be required at some of the schools. REQUIRED.
Not the language, the CULTURE, indoctrination.
Personally I think that government agencies are so used to getting money from the government that they do not THINK of the consequencies just the bucks. There is not such thing as free money. I would have found it a long time ago.
“Superintendent Bob Morrison apologized for not communicating with parents and invited them to be part of developing the curriculum”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Superintendent Bob Morrison probably needs to move on and infect some other school district. These “gravy train” school administrators are REALLY irritating. How much are they paying this nit wit? Whatever it is it’s WAAAAAY too much.
Jut show the kids a video of Nick Berg’s beheading. That’s ALL they need to know.
Back in the 1960s, when I was getting my PhD, I had to meet a language requirement. I chose Russian, because at the time it was highly relevant. I'm not sure of it's relevance today, but it still comes in handy. Were I doing it today, I might well choose Arabic because today it's a lot more relevant than Russian.
A Pelosi style cram down redux by the school district. Bypassing citizens, parents and students has become the first option of the political class (and public schools are certainly run by the union loving, socialist, political class) in their push for social engineering. All this among a population of students who are hardly crisp on their own language, literature, civics, the Constitution, or American history. Never mind our math and science ranking. We must sit back and wonder at the unmitigated gall of those who are no friend to American traditions.
Dallas area is getting as funky Leftist as Austin.
Are there are lot of Muslims out that way?
I remember driving to Dallas, Xmas nite, 1985. There was nothing out there in Mansfield They big green downtown monster had just opened and it was eerie seeing it way out there on I 20 with not much else around.
real Texans should go down there and say h*ll no.
What possessed these fools to even think they could do this?

Except for the over-paid (probably unionized) school teachers...
I’m for an OPTION to get training in Arabic.
When WWII broke out, having a pool of folks fluent in Japanese, German,
Italian, as well as Navaho and Cherokee (code-talkers) was part of our arsenal.
We do know that the Dept. of Defense has had trouble getting speakers
of Arabic that are actually loyal to the USA. Training more of “our own”
in Arabic (and other Middle-Eastern languages) ain’t a bad idea.
Especially as we know that many Muslim leaders say nice things in English...
then preach some of the most vile crap in their native language.
And the reason they backed away from it is that it probably raised a sh*tstorm over the last couple days since the story popped up. Bunches of parents and patriots probably wrote, called, and emailed the superintendent with a massive “WTF?!?!?”
No American child should be forced to learn Arabic, except for the phrases “Drop your weapon”, “Halt”, and “Eat s**t and die, sand jockey”.
Multiculturalism is a failure. Stop it. We are America, the US of A.
I kind of figured the folks in Mansfield weren’t going to accept this
Hope I didn’t miss anyone. I get mixed up easy. :^)
I can not believe they tried to do this in Texas. lol!
Whichever idiot chose to try to sneak this insidious idea into Mansfield, Texas, Bible Belt, USA, is just that...
an idiot!!!
