I'm a Muslim But...

Today in Human Geo we went over when we would get our tests back/how we did. We also went over MORE globalization. We talked a lot about religion and stereotypes. Such as people in Mr. Schick's family being told to "go back where they came from" just because they were a certain race. We watched a video called "I'm a Muslim But..." where muslim people would say "I'm a Muslim but I'm not a terrorist." or "I'm a Muslim but I'm not forced to wear a burka." or "I'm a muslim, but I love to dance and go to parties." This was a video just showing and going against all their stereotypes. I thought it was enlightening and really cool. We also talked about Ahmed, the Muslim student who brought a clock that looked like a bomb into school and got arrested when he shouldn't have. And at the end of class, Mr. Schick showed us this selfie with the Walking Dead filter on it, and Lauren asked if she could come to the Speech and Debate Team after school on Thursday to have pizza with them, but just mainly come for the pizza.
