Hezbollah High: Your Tax Dollars @ Work
By Debbie Schlussel
I’ve written a ton about Hezbollah High a/k/a Fordson High School in Dearbornistan, the nation’s first Muslim Arab-dominated public high school, where Muslim Arabs are about 95% of the student body. As I’ve noted, Imad Fadlallah, Fordson’s principal, is the cousin of Hezbollah’s spiritual leader, and, one year, he gave students the day off on election day to campaign against Christian candidates for office. I’ve also written about how he has engaged in fraud by changing grades and graduating students who didn’t have even close to the credits required to graduate high school. And I’ve written about how Fadlallah has a non-stop campaign of harassment against non-Muslim staff.
Well, now, a study commissioned by Dearbornistan Public Schools found that too much Arabic language is being used at Fordson, slowing assimilation and integration in to America. Shocker.
But since the study didn’t give the Dearbornistan Public Schools the finding they wanted, the school district’s politically correct superintendent, Brian Whiston, is making media appearances all over Detroit trashing the study he, himself, commissioned. What a tool.
A recommendation to bar Arabic speech in the city’s most heavily Arab public high school unless it is absolutely necessary has sparked a sharp debate between those who say it’s necessary to help students perform better and those who say it only helps alienate them.
A study commissioned by the Wayne County Regional Education Service Agency said the use of Arabic by students in the bilingual programs in Dearborn Public Schools slows the assimilation of students “into the school and American society in general” and fosters suspicion among students and teachers who don’t speak the language.
Students’ ability to communicate in the language they feel most comfortable with is a basic right, said Imad Hamad, regional director of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee.
Um, no, it isn’t a right, basic or otherwise. Figures that a man, Imad Hamad, who committed marriage and visa fraud, is a “former” Islamic terrorist, and had the FBI revoke an award they were going to give him, is against using English in America. Why speak English, when you can speak the official lingua franca of terrorism?
“It should not be touched,” Hamad said. “I am not a fan of restricting or reducing language. I feel that goes against the best interest of any type of education.”
The 44-page report from the Michigan Leadership Institute, an independent education and municipal consulting group based in Old Mission in the Grand Traverse Bay area, addressed the usual problems public high schools grapple with, including overcrowding, test scores and No Child Left Behind compliance, but also took note of the specific challenges for the district with an Arab population that reaches as high as 90 percent in some schools.
Though the language divide is a problem at all three high schools in the district, the report singled out Fordson High School to prohibit all non-English use unless absolutely necessary to communicate with parents or students.
“To do otherwise reinforces a perception by some that Fordson is an Arab School in America rather than an American school with Arab students,” the report stated.
Um, that’s exactly what it is: an Arab School in America, or let’s say what it really is: a tax-funded Muslim Extremist School in America. There’s not need to worry about “a perceptoin by some.”
In this case, perception is, indeed, reality.
How is this school even allowed to exist? The Satmaar (One of the many groups of Hassidic Jews) tried having their own school in New York(admission was not restricted but based on the school district’s boundaries it would have been overwhelmingly Satmaar) and the courts threw it out.
