I might be FOR this if these kids went on to a career in the Military or FBI, but I’ll bet the school district will make reading the koran mandatory along with verbal diarrhea about how “progressive” it is.
Is that old windbag still on the air ?
Ha Ha-—the Hispanics thought they had the second language racket tied up!!!! Rush is great.
The school wants to make points with The UN Agenda 21 International Baccalaureate program.
soetoro will be reading “three little pigs” to the children in arabic.
I unfortunately live here in New York city and it’s already run under despotism so I guess the libs here want to try a little more and go all out for Sharia law. This city is so filled with suicidal masochists it’s unreal.
Good luck to those students who set out to learn Arabic. Arabic is a tough language for English speakers to learn—even tougher than other Semitic languages such as Hebrew. Whereas a good student can read a newspaper in French, Spanish, German or even Russian after about a year of studying the language, I have been told by those who have studied the language that it takes about four years of study before one can read a newspaper in Arabic.
I was once told that if I wished to learn a second language, I should choose one with either military or economic significance.
Spanish has no military and only limited economic value.
Arabic has both. So does Russian.
Does the curriculum include the teaching of the Muslim religion? about sharia law??
Will these courses proselytize students turning them into Muslims as prisons do??
Europe will rid itself of Islam before the US will, if ever.
What a bunch of weasels we have become.
Another Reason to Homeschool?
After 9/11 I thought EVERYBODY should learn Arabic. But I’m not sure where this school is coming from.
I think we Americans do suffer from not learning other languages. It seems to me that most educated Brits have always learned French, but I could be wrong about that.
And only a generation ago most well educated Americans (at least Catholic ones like my parents) learned Latin.
Hey, I hadda take Latin in high school.
