One of the first steps in the plan will be to distribute letters to staff members and parents addressing Islamophobia and identifying resources to learn about the religion and fight discrimination. District calendars will be reviewed to ensure Islam holidays are recognized, which Anjan said is important so schools will schedule campus events that also can be attended by Muslim families."Restorative justice" means Sharia law .... Respect genital mutilation, and women as second class citizens or else....
Schools also will review and vet materials related to Muslim culture and history in media centers and provide resources and material for teachers.
Anjan said social studies lessons may include more information on prominent Muslims and their impact on history and other steps to promote a more positive image of Islam.
“Sometimes curriculum has had a much more Eurocentric approach,” he said. “We’re now thinking of how to diversify social studies curriculum.”
The plan also calls for a different approach in disciplining students who bully Muslim students. Rather than detention, the school will use a restorative justice method involving the student who did the bullying speaking with the other student to restore their relationship.
Community groups, parents, stake-holders and others outside the district also will be involved in the plan, Anjan said.
