The title is not what appears in the WSJ:
The actual title is:
"Diplomatic Visas
Of Saudis Revoked
At Virginia School"

It does not say in the title that they were teachers, much less what they were teaching.

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.
