There is some controversy as to whether or not Creole should be taught in [[Miami-Dade County Public Schools]]. Many argue Creole is a peasant language which is not important, while others argue it is important for children to know their parents' native tongue.
Haitian Creole language and culture is taught in many Colleges in the United States as well as in the Bahamas. Indiana University has a Creole Institute[http://www.indiana.edu/~creole/] founded by Dr. [[Albert Valdman]] [http://mypage.iu.edu/~avaldman/] where Haitian Creole, among other facets of Haiti, are studied and researched; the University of Kansas, Lawrence has an Institute of Haitian studies, founded by [[Bryant Freeman|Dr. Bryant Freeman]]. Additionally, the University of Massachusetts-Boston and University of Florida offer seminars and courses every year under their Haitian Creole Summer Institute. More universities such as Brown University, Columbia University, and University of Miami offered numerous classes in Haitian Creole.
In the Americas, Haitian Creole is the second most spoken language in [[Cuba]], where over 300,000 Haitian immigrants speak it. It is recognized as a language in Cuba and a moderate number of [[mestizo]] and [[mulatto]] Cubans speak it fluently. Surprisingly enough, most of these speakers have never been to Haiti and do not possess Haitian ancestry, but merely learned it in the communities they lived in. In addition, there is a Haitian Creole radio station operating in [[Havana]]<ref>[http://www.afrocubaweb.com/haiticuba.htm Haiti in Cuba]</ref> The language is also spoken by over 150,000 Haitians (although estimates believe that there are over a million speakers due to a huge population of illegal aliens from Haiti<ref>[http://dr1.com/news/2005/dnews081605.shtml#13 Dr1.com: Illegal Haitians deported]</ref>) who reside in the neighboring [[Dominican Republic]]<ref>[http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=DO Languages of Dominican Republic]</ref>
