Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart:
Socialism Studies

Aasif Mandvi from "The Daily Show" visits Cedarlane Middle School in Hacienda Heights, California, with camera crew to get the real story behind the Confucius Classroom. His crew captured segments from the district school board meeting in progress plus interviews with the middle school students studying Chinese culture and language. Too hilarious.

Better to study German or French? Maybe not. Find out for yourself w/video below:
