The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

I knew that it had to happen. Word has come that the New York City school system will open it very first public school "Dedicated" to teaching its students not only the "Arabic Language, But Its Customs As Well."

Course work will commence next September:half of the classes will be taught in Arabic. The name of the school is the Kalil Gibran International Academy. Young students from grades six through twelve will be indoctrinated, I mean taught the Arabic language, and culture.

I don't know what it is about the appeasement crowd in America. They feel that they have to kiss the backside of those who despise us as a people. They feel that they simply must grovel at the feet of these people. Pedagogic is one thing; and I am an ardent supporter of those wishing to reach the pinnacle of education, if there is such a thing.  However, this move is just too transparent. Why not open a school for those wishing to learn the Italian language and concomitant culture? Why not open a school for students who have expressed a desire to learn all about the wonderful Greek language and culture? Why Arabic?

What New York City educators are doing is trying not to offend Arabs in this country and around the world. Secondly, in the city where it was "Arab Men" who brought down the twin towers using our planes as missiles, I find it an insult to open a school, using public funds to teach our children Arabic. If this were a private endeavor, I would have no problem with it, but the appeasement people love to spend our money on their pet projects.

Debbie Almontaser will be the school's principal. Ms. Almontaser states"

"we are wholeheartedly looking to attract as many diverse students as possible, because we really want to give them the opportunity to expand their horizons and be global citizens"

By the way, Almontaser is from Yemen, and is fluent in Arabic. Yemen is an "Arabic Country." Are you comfortable with what the New York City school district is doing?  I'm not.

The appeasement crowd always cloak their talk in "Diversity." I am sick and tired of hearing that word. While it sounds benign, remember Ms. Almontaser will be getting many of our children during their formative years. That is what is frightening to me as a clinical psychologist.

I thought that we were in a war against IslamoFascists?  During World War II, can you imagine someone coming up with the bright idea of opening a public school "Dedicated to Teaching The Japanese or German Languages And Its Culture?" That person would have been fired forthwith:and ridden out of town on a rail.  We have people in this country who really don't buy into the idea that we are at war with IslamoFascists. We can start with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, John Kohn-Kerry, John Conyers, Charlie Rangel, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, et.al.

For the sake of "Diversity," we are opening a school in America with its foci, "The Arab Language And Culture." I tell you ladies and gentlemen, you just can't make this stuff up.

When I contemplated writing this column, I said, tongue in cheek, "Why Don't They Place A Statue Of Osama Bin Lade In Front Of The School?" Although that will not happen, at least at the moment, the school is named after a "Lebanese poet and philosopher," who happens to be Arab. Why not. After all, New York City has a school that caters strictly to homosexual children. They can't attend regular public schools because they will be bullied. I wonder what will they do when they have to enter the real world?

Can someone tell me who the hell is running New York City? Personally, I don't think the incredibly liberal republican Rudy Giuliani would have bought into this nutty Arabic school idea.

God save us!!!!
