The Flap Over F.L.A.P.
« on: February 09, 2011, 08:33:10 AM »
Parents of children in a Texas School District are irritated that their kids might be required to learn Arabic.

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/02/07/mandatory-arabic-classes-coming-to-mansfield/

A local district applied for funds under a Federal Program known as F.L.A.P.,
(Foreign Language Assistance Program). The District was awarded the funds to teach Arabic,
which the Obama Administration has labeled a 'language of the future'.   :rotf:

No one told the parents though. And they're not happy PTA members right now.

Can't find the article right now because I'm heading out but it's been put on hold, I guess the outrage was loud enough.

Yes, this was on F&F this morning, and it was on either Boortz or Hannity in yesterday's radio.  Can't believe they tried this stunt in Texas.  Baltimore, Maryland maybe.  The language of the future.  And the libs wonder why we are so vigilant (they would call it paranoid)?
