YouTube: Mandatory Arabic For Texas Students

The Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) grant was awarded to Mansfield, TX ISD last summer by the U.S. Department of Education.  As part of the five-year $1.3 million grant, Arabic classes would be mandatory at Cross Timbers Intermediate School and Kenneth Davis Elementary School.  The program would also be optional for students at T. A. Howard Middle School and Summit High School.

Parents Joseph Balson are frustrated.  “Why are we just now finding out about it?” asked Balson.  “It’s them (Mansfield ISD) applying for the grant, getting it approved and them now saying they’ll go back and change it only when they were caught trying to implement this plan without parents knowing about it.”

YouTube news coverage in Mansfield, TX:

The Department of Education (DOE) has identified Arabic as a ‘language of the future.’  Mansfield ISD says in addition to language, the grant provides culture, government, art, traditions and history as part of the curriculum.

The DOE now says that Arabic is a ‘language of the future.’   Has the DOE determined that English and Christianity are no longer relevant in America?  Children leave school not being able to speak, read, or write English but now will be taught Arabic.

It’s time to disband the Department of Education.  Let’s teach our children English and our culture before we teach them Arabic.
