Talk:Strategies For Cyber Bullying/@comment-26544184-20150731105044

As a substitute teacher in a school in the UK, I also encountered that misperception of muslim students that was held by many non-muslims. The trouble was that a small minority of the muslim stduents in that school expressed feelings of alienation from British culture and so there was a concern, even among the teachers that this could in time lead to radicalization. This made handling the situation very tricky indeed. In some classes, it was easier to deal with because the muslim students were adamantly British and not interested in ISIS and its works. In other classes there were muslim students who, although not expressing support, were certainly less unequivocal. It made it more difficult to argue that no muslim in the school was a trouble maker. I left the school to move to the US just as the situation started to come to a head when the government proposed that teachers were responsible for indentifying early signs of radicalization (not yet adopted as law and much opposed by teachers who do not wish to become the police). It would have only taken one such case actually to occur to make the anti-muslim stance of some non-muslim students even more difficult to deal with. (Adrian)
