Text of Note

The context of this study is that Islamophobia, or the mistreatment of Muslims based on religious or perceived religious identity is on the rise in U.S. public schools. According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) (2007), the number of civil rights complaints continues to increase at mosques and Muslim organizations, 'rising from 221 cases in 2006 to 564 cases in 2007 to 721 cases in 2008' (p.7), a 28% increase from 2007 to 2008. Islamophobia is a reality in America's classrooms (Zaal, 2012). This is unavoidable because schools are sites of cultural reproduction (Apple 2012). To understand the impact of Islamophobia on American Muslim women who attended public schools in-depth interviewing was employed to gather testimonios from four American Muslim mothers in order to learn from them about their lived experiences. Each of the women in the study attended public schools as children and now have children of their own in the public schools.
