Prohibit the use of any language other than English within the school. (Except as required when dealing with parents or students who are not proficient in the English Language) [sic] This should include commencement addresses. To do otherwise reinforces a perception of some that Fordson is an Arab school in America rather than an American school with Arab students.

And, Mr and Mrs. Derka Derka raised all kinds of hell in the Dearbornistan district till that report was thrown away.  Ultimately, Dearbornistan's schools mooched more federal grant monies on top of DoD monies and Mr. and Mrs. Derka Derka live comfortably in America without integrating to western language and culture while the rest of Michigan's taxpayer fund their accommodations.

After all, who would need a taxpayer funded program to "learn" Arabic more than the Arabs?

MSU's Arabic Language Instruction Flagship program is partnering with the Dearborn Public School District to develop a national K-12 model for Arabic foreign language instruction that flows smoothly across all grades and builds on previous learning.

Dearborn schools integrate Arabic language learning with school learning from kindergarten through high school, and students graduate with excellent communication and intercultural skills, ready to continue their Arabic studies in higher education.

And it must be working for all the Mr and Mrs. Derka Derka's because now MSU has upped churning out certified Arabic teachers for madrassas in Michigan.

Michigan State University will offer an Arabic endorsement and master's degree program for K-12 teachers starting in the fall.

Jeff Bale is an assistant professor at MSU. He says the program responds to a growing need for Arabic-speaking teachers.
