It looks obvious

I’m a little bit late to this story, I only heard about this yesterday in a conversation and start looking for the news report. The city of NY decided that it will be a good idea to open a school which will:

The decision is obviously somewhat controversial and a cause for worry. Unlike these who are worried about the political agenda of the school, issues of separation of church and state and similar issues I would recommend to encourage many schools like this. Why not open a Chinese oriented schools, and Korean? and why stop here? why not a Persian and Russian and Swedish? I’m seriously all for it, with one major condition - I don’t think these should be public schools.

If the new school was a private school I would not have worried about its curriculum, or its agenda. I would consider it in the same category as Catholic schools, Jewish schools etc. , although the school’s orientation isn’t (at least in the public agenda) about religious. However when being forced to accept this school as part of the public system I can only wonder why not others, and if yes - on whose, or what, expense?
