Arabic school to open in Brooklyn

The following is from Degrees of Madness. I can't improve on what she says:

The Department of Education says that it will open a public school next fall dedicated to Arabic language and culture.

The Khalil Gibran International Academy is one of 40 new schools that will their debut in the city next September.

Education officials say that although half the classes at the school will be taught in Arabic, they want to enroll a diverse student body.

A public school dedicated to Arabic language and culture in Brooklyn. The state of public education in America has never been worse and the Department of Education thinks this is a proper use of taxpayer money?

I can't find any other information on this, the NYC Department of Education website has a press release, but the Khalil Gibran International Academy is not mentioned.

If Arab-Americans want an Arabic school, I'm sure they can come up with enough money to fund it. There must be a prince somewhere in Saudi Arabia with a little extra oil money laying around.

It's time for a taxpayer's revolt! This is outrageous. How much more can we take???

Faultline USA: That depends... How much ammo do you have stored up?

At this stage of the "game", there are only two ways to "fix" the problems in this country:

1) Jesus Christ returns. Unfortunately, this is going to lead to a lot of people going to hell. Frankly, if God will allow it, I'd like more time to share the Gospel.

2) The Constitutional "Reset Button" (i.e. - the 2nd Amendment). If you read their public and private writtings, our Founding Fathers envisioned the 2nd Amendment as a way to prevent the United States from becoming like Britain: despotic. The only way to return to the principles this country was founded upon is to "reset" our government.

This incites me!
Isn't this America??? We have NO need for any PUBLIC Arabic schools. Unlike Arabic countries, which is indeed where Arabic children should receive an Arabic education.

Hello,
With the advancement of technology in computer s the game industry has entered into a new era of lot of exciting game العاب which not only creates enthusiasm but also enhances planning skills in children. So games in my opinion are the best way to enhance planning skills.
Regards and take care

WOW! I guess judging by the comments, most of you must be european in nature. Those advocating the "english" language must realize that a real language is not constructed from various languages, hence, making "english" a bastard form of expression. It is ignorant not to have schools, especially public, promoting an indigenous culture, or are they only good enough to work here and provide TAX DOLLARS? Europeans have terrorized THE WORLD OVER! America alone has done so much terrorizing way before you even heard of Al-Qaeda. Did you all forget Amerikkka created and funded them? Get A GRIP people and demand more schools teaching ALL LANGUAGES so that maybe we can all start understanding one another instead sounding like a bunch of rascist jerks!

Sorry we don't believe their jerks ,if you read alot on Arabic or islamic terrorest they say to kill the people that don't believe in their way. Once you get these people started in your USA they will teach our children all their praying way's and that will confuse our children more. They want to do away with the Freedom we have and they wish they had. Yes are Teachers Suck they don't push our children to no more and they don't follow any dress codes and respect in homes families must know whom they talk with and hang with are children need cutting back on all the goodies out there and adults and learn how to live with in a budget. They won't make illegals learn read or speak our English which is being taught all over the world but are children must learn arabic language history and pray ,what happen to D.Feinstein and b boxer that claim they love America
