[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][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] what words did they read? Is it bullying if the readers were speaking words calling for the destruction of Israel? Why don’t they name the poem?[/quote]

Are you seriously attempting to justify an adult interrupting and intimidating a 2nd grader? 
[/quote] so if a second grader read something anti lgbt you’d be upset if anyone interrupts? [/quote]

Given that I am adult, I would hold myself to adult standards of behavior. I guess your mileage must vary. If I was offended by a 2nd grader, I would first question my sanity and then, in the worst imaginable case, complain to the principal.
[/quote]Pretend the child read a passage from a book by Clayton Bigsby.  Would you sit quietly and show how tolerant you are of horrible racism or would you screech loudly to express your disdain.  I'm guessing option 2.[/quote]

No, I would never stoop so low as to publicly humiliate a 2nd grader. Do you people who are in favor of heckling 2nd graders hear yourselves? Everyone has lots of "what ifs". What if this, what if that. What if it was your kid? What if your kid was doing something you thought was perfectly find and another parent disagreed? How would feel about an adult attacking them?
[/quote]As I said earlier, I guess I'm just less tolerant of racism than you are, even when it's coming from an adult and filtered though a child.[/quote]

At the root, the problem is that people like you seem unwilling to even contemplate a world in which Palestinians are real human beings, with art and poetry and literature beyond war.

When you have so dehumanized a group that you can't even imagine them as fully formed people, you get comments like the ones on this thread where everyone is assuming a 7-year-old was calling for jihad rather than considering an adult was out of control.[/quote] well if we were told what the poem was we wouldn’t be doing this [/quote]

No. That's just more words. Brown children and Muslims are presumed guilty first. You'll just find another excuse to justify the heckling.[/quote]

I haven't made any judgements.  It does seem like there's a cover up with the poem. Doesn't anyone here have it to share with us? I like Islamic poetry and am learning Arabic. [/quote]
