“The primary objective of the ADC-RI Media Research Project is to research, track, and document anti-Arab and Islamophobic bias in the media, public discourse, and from public officials. This tracking project will serve as a resource tool which will highlight the prevalence of bias and bigotry. The project will expose xenophobia and hatred that target minorities in the U.S., particularly Arab and Muslim Americans.
The project will also celebrate achievements of Arabs and Muslims from around the world.”
“All of my life, unfortunately, I’ve seen zero or little Arab representation in school, and it’s quite saddening. But when I heard of this amazing resolution, I was extremely excited,” one San Diego Unified student said during public comment on the agenda item.
