[TW: Racism, Islamophobia] Parental complaints prevent Muslim author from visit to A.M. Kulp ES

adolescents:

Children’s book author Lisa Abdelsalam was all set to visit A.M. Kulp Elementary School in Hatfield this month to discuss the writing and publishing process, when some parents complained about her planned talks.

“The Friday before I was supposed to go, the principal called me and said several parents complained that they did not want to have a Muslim book read in the school,” she said. “He tried to explain to them that it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. The bulk of the visit was me explaining how I wrote and published the story.”

“After talking to (Huebner) and my family, my feeling is I didn’t want to do that to the kids,” she said. “There’s probably 50 Muslim students at the school. What if they show up and see the protesters? Kids don’t have a choice when they’re on the bus. They’re going to school. Kids can’t choose to go home. So I said we’re not doing it. Somebody’s got to think about those kids.”

This is my school district. I graduated with her son. This is makes me so sick.
