[quote=Anonymous]While the sheer number of Jewish students, at least in some grades, can be a bit overwhelming particularly in MS (7th grade primarily during bat/bar mitzvah season), our culturally and ethnically (but not observant) Muslim kids never felt excluded, discriminated against etc, and particularly in high school enjoyed open back and forth and debate about political issues in an open and overall respectful (as respectful as teens can be) way. There are more than a handful of staff members/teachers who are Muslim and/or from the Muslim countries, and a few are really beloved and prominent teachers/coaches, which helps I am sure. Even the LS has tried hard to recruit Muslim teachers and now has a few I believe. As parents, we never found other parents at least outwardly judgmental or dismissive of our background. Most of the Jewish families seemed to be politically pretty liberal on issues to do with the settlements and Israel. [/quote]
