Muslim Pupils' Lives Changed after Sept. 11
Shah, Nirvi
Education Week, v31 n2 p1, 15 Aug 2011
Since 9/11, the lives of some Muslim students, and those perceived to be Muslim, have changed across the country, shaped in part by the distrust and harassment Muslims have endured from fellow Americans. In the months immediately following the attacks, accounts of harassment of Muslim students mounted in the news media, as did efforts by Muslim advocacy groups to track and prevent such aggression. Now, as the 10th anniversary of the attacks nears, some fear the occasional incidents of harassment of Muslim students at school could increase. Earlier this year, one Minnesota school district was reprimanded by the federal government for its unequal disciplining of groups of white and Somali students, some of whom were Muslim, who brawled after the white students taunted and insulted the Somalis. Other federal investigations are in progress.
