I'm not so sure it's going to be the global language. But I do believe knowledge of Arabic will be extremely important over the next decades and in demand in every US intelligence service, and useful to many who carry a rifle in our nation's military service. I've got no problem with our kids becoming fluent in Arabic. The NSA can put that skill to good use.

Surely you see the difference between offering it as an option and imposing it on all...?

What I find interesting is that this Jewish (so I assume, by the name) principal is foisting the language of the enemy of Israel on these kids.

I did get the impression that they meant that Arabic would be THE global language that everyone MUST speak, in preparation for the Global Caliphate. But in reading the article, it will be ONE of the languages spoken outside its native country, like Spanish, French, and English. So, not quite scary, yet. But David, you're right about imposing it, as opposed to offering it as an elective.

It becomes a agenda when it is required of every student. Language classes are generally electives. When they are elective, no problem. I do see where there will be a need for Arabic speakers.
As far as a global language, English is the spoken worldwide language of all air operations world wide. I don't see them changing that anytime soon.
