Muslim-Americans find common ground with conservatives over politicization of America's schools
Fox News
Some Muslim American communities across the country are joining forces with conservative groups to push back on what they see as the politicization of America's schools.
"We’re hearing from folks in the community that they’re tired of the politicization of the schools their children attend," said Preya Samsundar, the Republican National Committee's Midwest communications director. "It’s not just explicit materials in schools, but they're concerned about [COVID-19] lockdowns, distance learning, the quality of education, woke politics in classrooms, and the achievement." Haris Alic is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering Congress.
For many the fight is personal. Muslim Americans, especially recent immigrants, have long viewed U.S. schools as the key to upward mobility and success. That viewpoint has changed for some in recent years, however.
