CAIR-LA, along with the additional three chapters that comprise CAIR California, recently released its 2021 Bullying Report, which showed that the highest-ever percentage of Muslim students (55%) feel unsafe in school.
CAIR also offers a booklet, called “An Educator’s Guide to Islamic Religious Practices,” designed to help school officials provide a positive learning environment for Muslim students.
