    1. Severe lack of context of the incident, and the historical context of portraying Mohammed, is very evident here. The imam says "that we Muslims don't show images of the prophet" which is partially true, some Muslims don't. An interesting parallel with the general outcry of support for the teacher.

      Jaylani Hussein says that most Muslims don't support portraying the prophet, whilst acknowledging that some do. (But portraying the prophet thus is not good). Even says it is Islamophobia at 2:00

      "The president of the Muslim student association" Aram Wedetella also in the class speaks up.

    1. d the mother often says “Don’t be like niggers” when the children are bad. A frequent phrase from the father is, “Look how well a white man does things.”

      They are taught that the n-word is shameful and bad while acting white is somewhat a higher class that they should be aiming for. This passage reminds me of a poem that I read in the past named Incident by Countee Cullen. In it is the incidents of the narrators encounters with racism and how it affected them even by an older age. This passage is similar as in the mother telling her children how to act in a certain way according to a certain ethnicity is impactful in a negative way.
