Project Title: School Anti-Discrimination Project
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
In 2008, House Bill 669 required Florida school districts to adopt a policy prohibiting bullying and harassment. Despite the passing of this bill more than a decade ago, recent data shows Muslim students\u2019 primary complaint is school officials failure to respond to bullying. CAIR-Florida focuses on cross-cultural communication, respect, and leadership to counter bullying in public\/private schools. We ensure all students have a positive learning environment and feel secure in their identity by:
\n-Educating Muslim students and parents about their rights to not be bullied due to race, religion, or national origin.
\n-Providing actionable coping tools for students through Know Your Rights and bullying prevention workshops.
\n-Equipping students to report when they hear\/see bullying by students, teachers, or administrators.
\n-Providing culturally relevant training for educators around Islam and issues faced by Muslim youth.
\n-Providing Islam 101 workshops for non-Muslim students and educators to proactively prevent bullying.
\n-Providing pro-bono legal services for cases requiring legal assistance. Our attorneys work with schools to ensure cases are a) investigated; b) perpetrators are reprimanded; and c) do not happen again by reviewing policies and providing cultural sensitivity training.
\n-Encouraging direct advocacy around adequate laws and procedures that deal with bullying.<\/p>\n
South Florida\u2019s Muslim community has grown from 70,000 Muslims ten years ago to 140,000+ today, making the prioritization of inclusion training such as the Islam 101s more relevant and impactful than ever before. During the 21-22 school year, we intend to work with Palm Beach County\u2019s school district, the third largest district in Florida with 180 schools, 12,800 teachers, and 176,700+ students. We anticipate:
\n-Leading a district-wide Islam 101\/Inclusion training in summer of 2021.
\n-Disseminating digital resources for regional and local educators.
\n-Leading 4-6 tailored school presentations for students.
\n-Leading 1-3 Know Your Rights as a Student and\/or CAIR\u2019s Anti-Bullying Guide within the community.\n<\/p>\n
