Understanding the question seems to come second to bias nowadays on 14:24 - May 18 by StokieBlue
That's the point, instead of clarifying the question they decided it was a bad thing because it was "Arabic".

Can't they just rename then Freedom Numerals like they did with French Fries?

"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."
If only 36% of Americans hold a passport, how much value is understanding Arabic numerals going to add to their lives? I have no doubt bigotry exists in spades, but is it bigoted for some to decide that Arabic numerals add no more to their lives than learning Mandarin!?

Well they wouldn't be able to understand your first sentence if they didn't understand Arabic numerals.

You might want to look up what Arabic numerals are.
Clue: Your post included some.
Edit: Seems I was beaten to it by II other people.

You should have googled Arabic numerals before replying.

I did that because I had no idea what they were.
You're one step ahead of more than 50% of Americans then.

Haha. This is actually one of the jokes they made in the latest and last season of Veep.
I thought they'd gone too far having a Presidential candidate campaigning on a platform of banning maths because it was Islamic. "Algebra!? More like Al Jazeera!"
Political satire has nowhere left to go.

arabic numerals aside... in our regular curriculum we dont teach portugese,hungarian, turkish, russian, bengali, japaease afrikaans or punjabi
so why should we start teaching arabic? what value will it add?
personally i dont believe we should teach anything that doesnt add value. (and remove subjects in the curicculum that dont) - That's not say we dont need to teach people (kids) about certain cultures, but learning the language of a culture is largely unnecessary unless there is a specific need or want. and yes, i do include french, german and spanish in that.

The British can barely speak English as it is, judging by half the posts on this board.
