[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big issue here isn't just that some bigot decided to engage in Islamophomic bullying, it's that the administration sat by and did nothing. There will always be bullies and bigots but when folks with power choose to side with them, then you have a court case on your hand.[/quote]

Why can't they refer to the actual poem? We can't assume that the people doing the heckling were bullies or bigots because we don't know what words in that poem were being said.  A lot of people heckled Trump for the terrible things he would say in public; and barely anyone batted an eye. Words have meaning and power. [/quote]

Why can't you entertain for just a second that maybe an adult behaved badly? Islamophobia exists, just as do other forms of bigotry. It amazes me that folks on this board seem so ready to just assume a child was calling for jihad, rather than considering that maybe the adult was the one out of line. Moreover, it's painful to see that what appears to have been a child actually trying to share his culture ended in him being made to feel like his was the only culture that could not be recognized.

Look at this quote from the mom of the child who was publicly embarrassed. How can you not feel for them?

"I wish more people would come and talk to us. And ask us questions. Break the stereotypes about us and come and talk to us. We are not bad people.”
