“The board has turned our classrooms into a place where prejudice is taught as fact and entire communities are written out of their own history,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Texas chapter wrote in a statement. “This is not only a Muslim issue, a Black issue, or a Palestinian issue — it is a Texas issue, because a board willing to do this to one community can do it to any community next.”

Robert McCaw, government affairs director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the Mississippi Free Press in an interview that the attacks on Muslim-Americans were a predictable, cynical ploy in an election year.
“ We’re seeing attacks on the Muslim community for cheap political points this election cycle, (but) it only inspires us to turn out and vote and for our community members to run for office,” he told the Mississippi Free Press.
