They were talking about a kid in 6th grade who wears his hair up in a turbine and how he is a terrorist etc.
I told them that he is a SIKH and that he is a good man. I explained the history to the 3 girls and they were stunned. I told them all about the turbine and why it is important...and how it is similar to many Christian traditions.
So glad DIVERSITY TRAINING is working in our school..HUGE SARCASM...no one bothered to educate the kids on this one particular child and they all were thinking crap. I hope the poor kid is strong enough to withstand the stereotypes he is subjected too. At least the 3 girls I talked to now have some education. Now for the other 1000 kids in the school???
