Doing little or nothing to advocate for more teachers and staff of color. Myths of muslims and islam: islam promotes violence and terrorism. There is no islamic text that endorses it: islam guides followers to oppress women. Women face cultural tradition not islamic law: women are forced to wear a headscarf by men.
