Is years of media and political rhetoric against Muslims leading to an increase in bullying against Muslim children?
Two of every five Muslim students in California face endure bullying, a number that more than doubles the national average, according to an anti-Islamophobia watchdog.
The full report – “Singled Out: Islamophobia in the Classroom and the Impact of Discrimination on Muslim Students” – will be released next Wednesday. Contacted by TRT World, the White House press office did not reply to a request for a comment on this article. During his presidential campaign, Trump vowed to shut down Muslim entry into the US and floated the idea of creating a database tracking Muslims in the country.
Those who filed the lawsuit claimed the initiative gave special treatment to Muslim students, although Muslims and other minorities often face harassment and hate crimes at disproportionately high rates.The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, based in California, recently released a report that found that hate crimes had grown by nine percent in 30 large US cities around the country.
During the 2018 midterm elections, the Washington, DC-based Muslim Advocates watchdog released a report recording 80 instances of “clear anti-Muslim rhetoric” employed by political candidates in 2017 and 2018.
