Yet this week, when Mansfield school officials explained their plans to start teaching Arabic language and studies in four schools under a Bush-era federal program, they ran into a backlash.

Some parents even cited ... 9-11.

Shouldn’t we be pressuring the Middle East to learn English and western culture, that generally appreciates life and freedom?

Just a thought.

I’m not buying for one minute that the government sees a risk with so few speaking Arabic. If they wanted people speaking it, offer it as a language in middle schools and high schools as an option. Why force it upon kids... some very young. Plus, the entire “culture” part of the language study needs to be really investigated. Are they promoting Islam? Do they take them to mosques as a field trip? Do they recite prayers? This whole program needs to be scrapped IMHO.

In other words it is Bush’s fault.

“so few of us read or understand Arabic”

I need to know only 4 words: `Hands on your head.’

Stopping this, requires parents enter, in mass and stop these classes during the school day.

Get arrested, get on tv, get the message out, force the administration to go on the record .

After 9-11 George Bush was like a puppet with Grover Norquist pulling the strings and supplying the voice: “Islam is the religion of peace ... Islam is the religion of peace ... Islam is the religion of peace ... Islam is the religion of peace ...”

Senior school administrators are professional parasites that usually move from one “gravy train” of excessive salary and
benefits to another.

They are just like Federal workers who breastfeed at the private sector taxpayer teat for their whole career. They
usually retire with a feather-bed of over a million in pension funds after screwing several poor, hapless school
districts.

The school board mouth breathers who hire them are little better and holding the bag at the end is you... the
homeowner paying for all the idiocy.
