Students at Westfield State University are planning to picket West Springfield High School to protest what three sisters called a pattern of anti-Islamic bullying by students and inaction by school officials.
The sisters – Najma, Hibo and Filsan Hussein, all of West Springfield - gave their account of verbal and physical abuse to a class at Westfield State taught by associate professor Kamal Ali, who is also vice president of the Islamic Society of Western Mass.
Following the session, more than 30 students signed up to stage a protest at the high school in the next few weeks, Ali said. “It’s a question of the day and time; we know the place,” the professor said.

School officials were aware of the bullying, and made periodic, if ineffectual, attempts to end it, the girls said.
“Their attitude was if the (headscarves) are the problem, then don’t wear them,” Najma Hussein said.
The hostility culminated in a fight in the school cafeteria between Filsan Hussein and another girl in March 2012 that led to assault charges being filed against Hussein in Springfield District Court.
The assault charge was eventually dropped, but related public disruption charges against the other two sisters are still pending, Ali said.

” Full title: Westfield State University class plans protest at West Springfield High School after 3 Muslim sisters said they were bullied”
Why would not a person protest a cancer growing in our society?
Hmmmm... The “victims” of the bullying get criminally charged with causing a fight.
My last time I was back ( in 14’) and I drove through W-Spfld in what was a former blue collar area that had a great Italian Restaurant etc and It was very different. Halal Meat Shops etc. Across the River in Springfield their was a big influx of Somali Immigrants a while back FWIW....
I got bullied in high school often because I was petite. So do I get to wallow in victimhood, too?
Yes, because Muslims would never make anything up. /s
I bet these girls are the real bossy types.
And people insist the Crusades were the West’s fault. Will Vienna save us this time? I fear not...
(Where's my damned free quran, you cheesey bastards? You promised!)
Contrived.
“Honey...erh, Babe(maybe):
No one really cares how you hide your Fugly mug or if you are extremely beautiful and just like walking around in a bee hive keeper outfit”
“Really, really, really. It’s your choice.”
“Free Country”
Yer a bit late and so I’ll just describe you as “Tardy”....
That you on your homepage?
You don’t look like you’d get bullied for long without delivering someone an attitude adjustment C.O.D.
Time for a bacon fest
$5 says this is made-up bullshit.
Yup that’s me. I became tough by being bullied when I was young. It can build character :)
Vienna never saved them the first time, it was King Sobeski from Poland.
> $5 says this is made-up bullshit.
I’ll double it...
I agree with Vendrome - you don’t look like someone who’d take any crap. Those early experiences are valuable, if painful sometimes.
Pardon the misspelling, please.
