Spread the word! Serious under-reporting of an attack on a Dayton, Ohio Mosque Last Friday

[dreams_of_wings]

This is from my friend lillibet. She got it from her elder sister, who got it from a student who has Muslim family members in Dayton. I am appalled and saddened by this, and particularly by the failure of the media to report on this, so I thought I'd spread the word and ask you all to do the same. Please, if you can, talk about this with your students,

I have to say that even though this is terrible news, I'm proud of us as a country that it took us this long for something like this to happen and that it's only happened once so far (probably a few more times than that but the numbers are still low). We're a hateful country and a hateful people; remember that the Klan has done a lot worse than this to a lot more churches than this. I think we're making some slow but undeniable progress

I xposted the link to my livejournal as well as submitted the link to BoingBoing for review in the hopes they'll post about it.
My prayers are with you and your friends in this community.

thanks for this. in my 3 classes, we just talked about dominant and subordinate groups, which gave me the perfect connection to talk about this in class today.

though, I'd much rather not have this to talk about.
