Hey, How About …
… maybe, we shut down all schools that are funded by foreign governments? Isn’t allowing those just an open invitation to come and subvert our system of government? Survey of Anwyn says: Yes.

Are you serious? Really, I give people credit for not being that gullible or easily influenced, and people who are socio-paths will find outlets for anti-American subversion without going to a foreign funded school.
Of course we shouldn’t allow terrorist incubators nor schools that preach subversion, but I don’t see anything wrong with foreign funded schools per se. Why not? Its investment in our country and diversity in education is one thing I do support re: diversity. I have always sought out eclectic (I hate people who overuse that word but its what I mean) sources of information. Also, I don’t have the xenophobic fear some Americans seem to have about foreign languages. Full immersion multi-lingual schools, for example, are kind of cool, I think. I wish I could have attended one.

Mmm. I give people credit for putting their children into the schools that align most with their worldview. And prefer not to have Americans running around with Saudi worldviews. It’s less to do with sociopaths. I agree those will find their own way.
I thought about putting the Bean into an immersion school. Language(s) is far and away his strong suit. I decided against that but am encouraging foreign languages in him even now.

I think we need to look carefully at foreign-funded schools — as well as foreign-funded or trained clerics allowed to recruit in our prisons.
