Jon Stewart on the dismissal of Arab translator.
You may remember our post on the dismissal of Arabic translator Bleu Copas for being accused of being gay by anonymous emails, well watch Jon Stewart's take on it, it's pretty good as always.
Somewhere beneath all the inane clichés that politicians and the media bandy about, there lies a true Franco-American relationship that stems from a deep appreciation and fascination with each other's language, culture and society. This is where we live, below the radar, exploring the mundane, finding pleasure in the details, and sharing our passion for another culture with our students. We are educators, teaching English in Paris and French in Boston. Trained and training at the Sorbonne and Harvard, respectively, we choose here to let our café conversation spill out onto the sidewalk. Others should feel free to eavesdrop or join the conversation through comments.
