New site selected for NYC Arabic language school 

NEW YORK: City officials have selected a new site for a controversial public 
school focusing on Arab language and culture after opposition from parents 
stopped an earlier plan.

The Khalil Gibran International Academy, which has been painted by conservative 
commentators as a potential incubator for radicalism, was to share space with

Brooklyn High School of the Arts and the Math & Science Exploratory School, 
said David Cantor, spokesman for the city Department of Education. The school 
will stay in that building at least two years.
