Do You Understand the Real of Tolerance?
Arab, Muslim Students Targeted for Racist HarassmentAs the note said, Robin Chen Delos is the news editor for the newspaper at South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C. This spring she wrote a cover story about the harassment of Arab and Muslim students at South Lake High.
July 5, 2002 -- Since September 11, Arab and Muslim students at South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia, a suburb of Washington D.C., encounter hatred -- from dirty looks to death threats -- directed against them solely because of their race and religion.
The day before the paper was scheduled to go to print, the article was recalled, censored by the school administration because, as Robin says, "the principal thought it would make the school look bad." Here is the story, in its complete form.
I only had one question, do they who think they were more good practices in tolerance, democracy and human rights feel better to hate others because of matter religion and race? I'm a muslim. So i feel in about this matter.
