First, there is nothing you can say to me, or to any clear thinking individual, to reoncile me to dual language schools whether they be Chinese or Arabic or any other language.

>Personally, the knee-jerk reaction I've seen to this whole situation makes me think we need more>education about Arabic culture in this country

Second, the only knee-jerk reaction is yours, and the day s are over for inducing cultural guilt trips. I mean, it is not as if the Arabs have been hiding from the world for the past 1,400 years. These days, bookstore shelves are groaning with histories of the Arabs and of Islam, and the internet is fully replete with both historical and modern information.
