A proposed new charter school in Coppell plans to teach Arabic. Its name is Arabic -- "Manara," meaning lighthouse or beacon.

And now it has run into permit problems with the city. A "traffic safety" issue, they say.

But when the property housed a Lutheran school, it had even more students.

If the Lutheran school was reopening, would residents have turned out to protest?

I'm just asking.
