Excerpt:
A controversial Arabic-language middle school — founded after a highly divisive public battle that involved curriculum, staffing and even whether the school would churn out terrorists — will be closed by the city for its gravest sin: failing to attract students.
Under the current proposal, the Department of Education would essentially put the Khalil Gibran International Academy out of its misery after the school "struggled to recruit and retain middle school students."
Worse, the school's most recent report card gave it F marks for both "student performance" and "student progress."
