| 0:00.0 | Christina, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sweetheart. |
| 0:04.0 | Yes, I just wanted to mention, was it me? Did somebody else here a shooting range within the charter school? |
| 0:12.0 | That's correct. I thought I heard him say that. That is correct. |
| 0:15.0 | And then I just want to read from their curriculum that posted online. |
| 0:18.0 | Grade 6-3-8 will receive daily language development in Spanish and Chinese as part of their academic instructional schedule. |
| 0:26.0 | Grade 9-12 will receive proficiency-based Spanish and Chinese language courses. |
| 0:32.0 | So, I understand that many people would like to learn both of those languages or know them. |
| 0:38.0 | I feel like he and the community know that the majority of these students are probably already proficient in Spanish. |
| 0:50.0 | So, where is English as part of this requirement? Are we just to know that we are supposed to know English as part of a school in America? |

| 1:30.0 | No, no, no, no. I'm not correcting you. I'm correcting myself sweetheart. |

| 1:44.0 | And Mandarin is a very, very inaccessible language as a foreign language to learn. |
| 1:51.0 | So, I don't know if this is meant as kind of a, this is a cool thing to do. |
| 1:56.0 | I don't know if it's meant as a selling point because first generation Hispanics recognize that as a language of the future of importance for commerce. |
| 2:08.0 | I don't know where that comes from. That also struck me as odd. |
| 2:15.0 | Right. I don't know the answer. Do you live in that area? |
| 2:20.0 | No, I do not, but I've been following this for quite some time. It's been online. People have been, you know, the news online has been covering it for quite some time. |
