| City To Open Arabic Public School In Brooklyn |
| 2007-02-13 |
| 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. The school is set to open in Brooklyn. Ugh. Khalil Gibran, that dreadful Lebanese Christian poseur poet that all the pseudointellectuals used to quote. My father has even stronger opinions on the man, but then he had to hear the stuff as the books first hit the bookstores. An interesting choice of names, though -- not at all appealing to the Wahhabi/CAIR types. Hopefully this will result in a large group of future Army Intelligence translators a few years down the road. |

| #3 Isn't the mayor of New York a Jew ? Is he yet another appeaser ? Yesterday, some muzzie killed 5 in Salt Lake City. We gotta pull the tooth, not appease it. |

| #2 And yet if I opened an Irish school, dedicated to Irish culture and taught in the gailic language, I would be called a racist and a white supremacist. |
