Teaching ‘different is okay’ to combat Islamophobia

Clip: 5/17/2016 | 7m 54s

John Tulenko takes a look at the intersection of education and Islamophobia.

According to a new study, some 50 percent of all Muslim students in the U.S. have been bullied by their peers. In mostly-white St. Cloud, Minnesota — where thousands of east African refugees have relocated — the problem got so bad that Muslim students walked out of the city’s high school en masse. John Tulenko of Education Week takes a look at the intersection of education and Islamophobia.
