The impact of 9/11 on the Islamic community, educators
Description
After 9/11, the country unified to heal from the tragedy, but some were not included in that unity. Some Muslim and Middle-Eastern people living in the U.S. experienced an increased amount of hate crimes and violence against them after 9/11.
Educators are doing what they can to teach their students why such prejudices are wrong, but it’s a challenge when those students weren’t even born when 9/11 happened.
In the third episode of KSHB 41 News’ five-part podcast mini-series about the 20th anniversary of 9/11, digital producers Casey Murray and Katharine Finnerty will hear from Dr. Laeeq Azmat, Platte County High School teacher Zach Keith and more about 9/11’s impact on the Islamic community, as well as how educators are teaching 9/11 to students who didn’t experience the life-changing event firsthand.
