Why are American citizens allowing this crap to happen?
OUR tax money, no less.
The parents were not told about it until the school board decided to do it. They knew the parents wouldn't have allow them to do it, so they jumped first so that they couldn't be stopped. Pathetic.
It will stop when the instructors are encouraged to find another line of work.
“Why are American citizens allowing this crap to happen?”
Easy, the public schools DO NOT answer to the parents. They answer to the people that give them their money, which is the the GOVERNMENT.
So for all you conservative parents defending your WONDERFUL public schools...think about it, please.
You have to know that our schools are in the hands of politicians.They are not managers not teachers, but guys with their fingers in the wind. And NOT the best and brightest of pols. Some bright lad/lass say a chance to get some additional federal funding. All that had to do was to pretend to teach Arab and language culture in compliance with federal demands and they would get a bunch of money that would be in addition to other federal and state funds. Does it make sense to teach Arabaic to kids when hardly any documents of worth are written in that language? Do, but let’s pretend in return for federal funding is a game that has been going on since 1965, when LBJ’s Elementary and Secondary Education Act passed. Ironically, federal funding from the National Science Foundation dried up as Federal programs began to multiply.
