This report aims to inform policymakers, school districts, educators, and researchers about the overall problems Muslims are facing in public schools as a result of an increase in Islamophobia and the lack of training schools are providing in dealing with this issue. In the post-Trump political context, many minorities have been marginalized and targeted, and Muslims have not been immune to this problem. Muslims in America have had a long history of being targets of discrimination and exclusion predating September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11).

FEATURED BOOK ON ISLAMOPHOBIA
Covering Islam
Edward Said
In this classic work, now updated, the author of Culture and Imperialism reveals the hidden agendas and distortions of fact that underlie even the most “objective” coverage of the Islamic world.
From the Iranian hostage crisis through the Gulf War and the bombing of the World Trade Center, the American news media have portrayed “Islam” as a monolithic entity, synonymous with terrorism and religious hysteria. At the same time, Islamic countries use “Islam” to justify unrepresentative and often repressive regimes. Combining political commentary with literary criticism, Covering Islam continues Edward Said’s lifelong investigation of the ways in which language not only describes but also defines political reality.
