[quote=Anonymous]  I totally get the purpose of having kids interview eachother about religion to foster understanding. However, we are at a public school with many international kids (World Bank and Military) and a high number from countries where Jews are not allowed to travel. My daughter likes these kids and we want her to have friendships with all. She is not a very socially successful kid and she wants to be liked. She is fine with being interviewed about being Jewish and we are not going to say anything. It's just in this political climate I feel discomfort with identifying my kid as the Jew, another kid as the Muslim and so forth. Plus, my daughter says thanks to this project, a child from Africa and a child who is African American have already been questioned about why they don't celebrate Kwanza.

Before you berate me for over-reacting, I am simply sharing my internal discomfort. I have said nothing to the school or my child. We don't agree with Trump's decisions in Israel at this time and there is already tremendous unrest and animosity toward Jews and Muslims in particular. Maybe let the family decide if they want their kid singled out as the representative of their religion.[/quote]
