We know that the Chinese will outright slaughter Arabs without hesitation
if they start to much trouble. So yes, learning Chinese would be beneficial
at our current rate of isolationism and pacifism.

Leftists understand how to destroy republican freedom better than conservatives comprehend how to secure it.

The framing generation of 1787 fretted intensely how to form free government over an extensive territory that avoided the classic problem of republics, their degeneration into democracies in which various conflicting interest groups were constantly at each other’s throats. The resulting social turmoil reliably ended in despotism as a strongman emerged to “do something” about the violence.

Republics require a certain level of commonality among their people, a harmony of ideas and traditions. Without similar outlooks, distinct interest groups will develop, fight among each other and for dominance in the government. Recall the occasional freeper posts of 19th century elementary school primers. Children were taught the Bill of Rights and how God blessed our wonderful land. Adults with shared common values are more likely to keep self-government and be covetous of their freedoms.

Progressives long ago figured out that if this keystone to the social structure of republics could be pulled, free government, and along with it our freedoms, would soon perish.

Their destructive knowledge is on display along our southern border and by the many thousands of muzzies purposely imported by Obama. Not only do millions of illiterate, unskilled foreigners strain social services, they inevitably dilute what it means to be an American. Once the tipping point is reached, in which enough people don’t think the ideals of our republic are worth promoting and defending, that’s it, game over. A once constitutional republic composed of similarly minded people becomes a democratic mob of connivers intent on “getting theirs” at the expense others.

It means our former government by consent must be replaced with one of coercion.

You have to wonder how they get around Slavery and that mutilation thing.
It's not ancient history, it's being practiced by all of islam throughout
the world where sharia/islam are the majority.

Two very distinct political topics to the left are Sex and Slavery.

Chinese at least has the need to be learned at an early age, or else it takes 6 or more years to learn a tonal language, version 2 for non-tonal like Spanish.

Chinese don’t tolerate muzzy BS. America should get a clue.

It’s only a magnet school, but still.

Speaking fluent Arabic could be an asset in that one can get a job with an intelligence agency to spy on Islamic terrorists. I don’t see what else this could gain anybody.

Does the teacher look like she got sham-wowed into falling in love with and marrying an Arab desperate for a VISA?

The mayor of Houston is a lesbian who is “married” to her partner.

I thought the general purpose of our schools was to make educated and informed AMERICAN CITIZENS, not “global citizens”.

Gee, I guess I’ve been wrong for about 70 years. And this announcement coming just 13 days after the anniversary of “D-Day”.

Soon we’ll have a new day of celebration , “D-Day Islamic Style - Dhimmi Day”

While I disagree with the global citizen accolade, I like this. How many kids spend 4 years taking a foreign language in high school and it is of no value. As marginal as a US high school diploma is anyway, I would have loved to have graduated from high school and been fluent in another language.

The military will give you total immersion training in just about any language in about a year.

Fine, train kids to “translate and understand”...just don’t let them get close to knives or firearms.

Everyone has contributed by constantly calling USA a democracy rather than a republic.
