Last year, for example, American colleges and universities graduated a grand total of nine Arabic majors. When I lived in the UAE, we had to take Arabic. Now, I wish I still knew it.

The objective study of non-Western cultures has never been multiculturalism's primary goal. In fact, its proponents generally show little interest in the languages, religions or literary and artistic masterworks of the developing world. This is because the movement is fundamentally political in nature. Its interest in Third World cultures derives primarily from their value as a springboard for launching a critique of the West, and of America in particular. Hey, great article! This whole thing is one big indictment of the political agenda of multiculturalism.
What the heck is this "Center of the American Experiment in Minneapolis"? Is this a place where Minnesotans can see what it's like to be Americans for a change?
