This issue is not limited to the Saudis and has been being imposed on us for quite a while. While I was at The Citadel, there was an exchange student program with the Iranians. The same arrogant attitudes and expected treatment were displayed by members of that group.
I don’t believe the program made it through the first semester of ‘73.
It’s obvious the national “powers that be” aren’t interested in the welfare of the people.
I was an instructor in Fort Gordon, Georgia (communications) in the 90’s. We had a couple students from Jordan. They were aloof in class and never asked questions and rarely spoke to other students. They did pass their exams and hands on testing though.
I asked them what they did on the weekends and they said, “Get drunk and party.”
