Parents who profess the Islamic faith and have their children profess the Islamic faith or look like like "a terrorist" are scared to send their child to school. These Muslim children are now being bullied by the other children in the school. The bullys push the kid down and even kick him. They call him names such as terrorist, osama, and America hater. When the parents asked the teachers about this. They did nothing. The teachers even said that the child was making it up. It sounds that the child and parents are being discriminated against because of their religion or how they look. It sounds absurd that even in America we still have these acts of atrocity. This is discrimination in its finest form. People are blaming everyone in the Islamic faith for they events of 9/11. If a select group of catholics did that. No one would discriminate against them. It's absurd. This article was informative of what one family struggles through. Its discrimination and it needs to stop. http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/eboo_patel/2007/03/discrimination_against_muslims.html
Its a terrible thing for a parent to have to be afraid for their child going to school just because they are Muslim. Whats even worse is that the school wouldnt do anything to stop the bullying of the children. I agree that it is discrimination in its finest form, in america most people should by now be at least High School educated which would make you think that we have a little more knowledge about the world and their religions but people refuse to look at the facts and instead look at what the mass media is saying. Good job Kris!
ReplyDeleteI think you sumed up the information well. I think that it is terrible that a school in America would actually do that because school is government run and discrimination is against our constitution. Overall, it definently showed American Muslim discrimination.
ReplyDeleteKris, You did an excellent job summarizing the article. However, you needed to include your answers for the questions in the prompt.
