Muslim-Americans find common ground with conservatives over politicization of America's schools

An alliance is forming in some communities across the country between Muslim American parents and conservative groups over what they see as leftist, woke politicization of America's schools.

Muslim Americans have increasingly begun showing up at school boards from Minnesota to Virginia to excoriate education officials for embracing woke priorities, including critical race theory, and allowing explicit materials in the classroom.

"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."

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. .......

======================================


The Democrats are starting to lose the Muslims. You don't screw around the people's childrens education. The Dems lost the Virginia governorship over education issues. Now they are starting to lose Muslim Americans.
 
If what I read is accurate George W. Bush won 70% of the Muslim vote in 2000 and Kerry won 90% of the vote in 2004 and Democrats have dominated it since.

Voters aren't static and times and people change. There's no reason Muslims voters can't support Republicans in the future.

Dems lost the gov, lt gov, atty general and both houses of our general assembly over education.

Clean sweeps like that just dont happen. But it did here only a year ago.

Lot depends on GOP policies, Islamophobia is often common in right wing rhetoric
