Lemonade Girl - CAIR (One Minute Video)

Anti-Muslim bullying in schools has increased by 15% according to a CAIR study.

Recently, the parents of nine-year-old Muslim twins reported to CAIR that their children had been facing chronic, anti-Muslim bullying for years. They told us their son was taunted because of his religion and ethnicity, and was told, “All Muslims are dirty and they kill people.” Their daughter was allegedly slapped, hit in the eye and told “go back to your country.”
