Chicago Sun Times -- Now, even more Chicago Public School students will be able to broaden their horizons by studying Arabic, Chinese and Russian.

At a Lindblom news conference attended by Arab mayors here for the U.S. Arab Cities Forum, Mayor Daley announced that the Board of Education was "re-allocating" $1 million to expand a Critical Languages Program he called the largest in the nation.

"I had a much different perception than what I have now. I always saw the bad and negative parts of the Arab world. . . . But after studying the language and learning the diversity of the culture, I have totally realized that they're not that much different than we are," said Brown, 16.

Наверное, выяснилось, что арабы тоже тоже тратят миллионы на ерунду.
