Summary: This article describes how a teacher called a twelve-year old boy a terrorist simply because he was muslim. The teacher was placed on administrative leave. The boy and his classmates were watching a movie called "Bend it like Beckham", Abushaaban laughed during the movie and his teacher told him he shouldn't be laughing, when Abushaaban asked why she responded saying 'because we all think your a terrorist'.
Analysis: I think this is terrible that these types of things happen. It shows that people are constantly breeding hate. This can relate to when desegregation was happening. The schools were becoming more diverse, however people were still as racist as ever. Sadly, there are still traces of discrimination at school that we glimpse every now and then. Hopefully, through time and education those glimpses will disappear, like they were never their in the first place.

Racism hasn't stopped and probably never will. There will always be at least one person.
ReplyDeleteEven Beckham wouldn't be able to curve her prejudices in the right direction
ReplyDelete^ great comment
ReplyDeleteAlso I almost find this hard to believe; what that teacher said was completely unacceptable and horrible.

I agree that this teacher should not have said that.
