Michigan places more value on an Arab American ‘learning center’ than a 161 year-old American tradition? Is this what ‘political correctness’ has brought us to? They are more concerned with making foreign entities feel at home than rewarding American citizens for what we do?

I am appalled at the preferential treatment of newly arriving immigrants over American citizens, no matter where they come from. But this nation was built on the talents that immigrants brought with them and that diversity will help keep it strong.

We have to be forever vigilant to not allow terrorist to come into the U.S. and if ACCESS is being used as a cover for this purpose as this author suggests then they need to...

Michigan places more value on an Arab American ‘learning center’ than a 161 year-old American tradition? Is this what ‘political correctness’ has brought us to? They are more concerned with making foreign entities feel at home than rewarding American citizens for what we do?

I am appalled at the preferential treatment of newly arriving immigrants over American citizens, no matter where they come from. But this nation was built on the talents that immigrants brought with them and that diversity will help keep it strong.

We have to be forever vigilant to not allow terrorist to come into the U.S. and if ACCESS is being used as a cover for this purpose as this author suggests then they need to be investigated and held accountable.

There is another thing that I feel needs to be said, the author of this article shows an obvious bias against Arabs. Example: “job training” (teaching Islamic terrorists how to get Commercial Driver’s Licenses and HazMat hauling certificates–yes, ACCESS really did that). This is saying that all Arabs are terrorist. Not all Arabs are terrorists. We must be very careful not to create more alienation and hatred with statements like this.
