Starting in September NYC will have its first public school dedicated to teaching Arabic language and culture, with half of its classes eventually to be held in Arabic. The Khalil Gibran International Academy hopes to attract not only Arab-American students, but also those students with no background in Arab cultures.
Efforts such as these will no doubt help to educate people so that hopefully, someday, we'll see fewer posters such as the one in my previous post, fueled by ignorance and blind hatred.
