Abrar Omeish urged a"culturally responsive" curriculum that said 9/11 history should not be taught as a conflict between two different cultures and that there was substantial disagreement about what"terrorism" means, according to Fox News."Do not frame the lessons as a chance to explore the definition of terrorism or a clash of two different societies/cultures," the curriculum guide reportedly said.
The teaching of 20 years since 9/11 & the social/political impacts on community must include lessons to never forget dangers of collective blame, xenophobia, & demonization of entire populations.— Abrar Omeish September 11, 2021 Omeish had previously spoken out about the need for"anti-bias" education on the history of 9/11 that also included discussions on xenophobia and Islamophobia that occurred after the infamous terror attacks."The teaching of 20 years since 9/11 & the social/political impacts on community must include lessons to never forget dangers of collective blame, xenophobia, & demonization of entire populations," the FCPS school board member said.
"Further, mental health services for 9/11 victims' families, first responders, military veterans, hate victims, and refugees are essential to address how these events continue to shape our communities," she added."9/11 is a challenging moment that can bring us towards healing our nation together. Let us honor our heroes by committing to fix and rebuild."
