I know they were teaching Arabic, because my son took a class in beginners' Arabic, and a Saudi man I know said they were also teaching Wahabbism to Arabic speakers who wanted to learn more about Islam. He translated some of what they were teaching in the religion classes, and it was pretty vile and prejudiced against Jews, for sure. Not sure if there were negative things about Christians, just can't remember.
I know for a fact that he informed the US government about the activities at this school. He's a Shia, and the Saudi government is very hard on Shias in Saudi Arabia.

I'm sure they taught Arabic and who knows what else. My only objection was to the embellishment of the actual WSJ title.
