(Radio New Zealand International)--French Polynesia[base ']s minister of family affairs, Tina Cross, says the ban on speaking Tahitian in the assembly is racist.
Her comment comes after the French supreme court ruled last week that Tahitian wasn[base ']t allowed to be used during assembly debates.
The ruling followed a case brought by the former French high commissioner in Papeete, Michel Mathieu, who pushed for the use of French as the only official language.
Mrs Cross says she will defy the ruling and no longer speak French in the assembly.

(AP)--The state of Michigan in the United States is expected to receive about $700,000 annually for up to 16 years in an effort to produce scores of young state residents who are fluent in Arabic.
The federal grants would pay teacher salaries and other costs of teaching the language in grades K-12 and college as part of an experiment that could expand nationwide, Robert Slater, director of the Defense Department's National Security Education Program, said Monday.
President Bush told a group of college presidents in January that if more Americans speak Arabic and other strategic languages, such as Mandarin Chinese, Farsi and Hindi, it will help with national security and commerce.
