Episode Description
Decorated Educator Dr. Sawsan Jaber comes on to discuss how our students are dehumanized in schools through curricula, bullying, and well intentioned harm created by school districts who create environments of “invisible” Palestinian and other Arab students at a critical juncture in their and our collective histories. While media violence is definitely at play in making Arab and Muslim students unsafe on campuses, educational violence is also taking place. As she told us after the recording, every Representative, every Senator, every President was once in school, so education can certainly make a difference in how they understand and legislate and conduct foreign policy. 🎤
Despite the multitude of harms our students encounter in schools as their Palestinian identities are retold for them, Dr Jaber identifies several action items for us to rectify it. This is certainly an episode where we can make change happen right after we turn off the episode insha’Allah, so don’t miss the opportunity! 💬
