No one in the school was involved in this decision, and the school community was only notified about it tonight at the PTA meeting. We were shocked at the arrogance with which this was done. They told us 240 students, so I'm curious to know where the 500-600 figure comes from?<BR/>We are planning protests and will have our next meeting next Monday 3/19 at 6:30 pm. thank you for the address of the Dept. of Education. Please contribute names and addresses of any other possible contacts, press would be a great help!<BR/><BR/>concerned mother in Brooklyn<BR/><BR/>PS282 SAYS NO TO THE KHALIL GIBRAN INTERNATIONAL ACADEMYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918376239701854010.post-49978635642122691152007-02-26T13:15:00.000-05:002007-02-26T13:15:00.000-05:00Khalil Gibran International Academy -Regarding the...Khalil Gibran International Academy -<BR/>Regarding the creation of this<BR/>Arabic school and all others:<BR/><BR/> The fact that this school wants to teach half in Arabic language in three years should be alarming to everyone. This is how Islam crept into the British system. There is absolutely No reason to have an arabic school amongst us. <BR/> I am completely opposed to it, as are millions of Americans who are the 'silent majority'. I hope we all speak up. <BR/> I will also be writing to every congressman and woman, the various Departments of Education<BR/>involved and to the schools expressing my objection. <BR/><BR/> Everyone should write to keep the islamic fundamentalists from reaching in and killing us. <BR/> Here are addresses you can write to:<BR/>US Dept. of Education<BR/><BR/>400 Maryland Ave., SW<BR/><BR/>Washington DC 20202<BR/><BR/>800-872-5327<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>NY State Education Dept.<BR/><BR/>89 Washington Ave.<BR/><BR/>Education Bldg.
