FIGHTING THE LIBERALS IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES WORK!!!!

It has been identified as a 'language of the future' by the U.S. Department of Education.
But plans to introduce compulsory classes in Arabic have been put on hold in a Texas school district after some parents complained, it has emerged.

Almost 200 parents gathered at Cross Timbers Intermediate School in Mansfield last night to ask questions and voice concerns about the proposed programme,  according to Mansfield News-Mirror.

Concern: Almost 200 parents gathered for the school meeting where Superintendent Bob Morrison answered questions on the Arabic programme

Talking after the meeting, some said they had not been properly informed about the classes, which were due to start this term.

Superintendent of the district, Bob Morrison, today apologised for not communicating with parents and invited them to help develop the curriculum, according to reports.

'Nothing will be taught in the classroom until the curriculum is rolled out,' a schools district spokesman said.

Compulsory: Cross Timbers Intermediate School in Mansfield and one other were due to start the classes in Arabic language and culture this term but the district has now backed away from the plans

The Department of Education (DoE) said the programme would put students at an 'advantage in an increasingly diverse and global society.'

Last year they handed the Mansfield school district a $1.3million grant as part of the Foreign Language Assistance Programme.

Two schools, including Cross Timbers, were to incorporate studies in Arabic culture into every part of their curriculum.
While two other schools in the district would have had the option to pursue similar studies.
One mother, whose son is at Cross Timbers, said she had been upset by the lack of information on the programme rather than the actual content itself.

'The parents weren't notified,' Cindy Henderson told the Mansfield News-Mirror. 'We should have been told and excited about the grant.'


She also admitted that some parents had voiced concerns at the meeting that their children would be learning about the Middle East.

'Can we ever forget about 9/11?' she said. 'That's always in the back of our minds. We know that's the radicals. We don't want to discriminate against the entire Middle East, but it's hard to forget.'
However a spokesman stressed the programme would not be about religion, but about Arabic language and culture.

The schools district also offers classes in Chinese and Russian.
