Now American Children Can be Asked to Recite the Koran in Arabic in the Classroom

Mandatory Arabic Classes Coming To Mansfield

quote:

MANSFIELD (CBSDFW.COM) – Some Students at Mansfield ISD schools could soon be learning Arabic as a required language. The school district wants students at select schools to take Arabic language and culture classes as part of a federally funded grant.

The Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) grant was awarded to Mansfield ISD last summer by the U.S. Department of Education.

As part of the five-year $1.3 million grant, Arabic classes would be mandatory at Cross Timbers Intermediate School and Kenneth Davis Elementary School. The program would also be optional for students at T. A. Howard Middle School and Summit High School.


Oh yes...and now the school age children will be able to watch their cartoons and understand the Arabic instead of having to read the subtitles.
