THIS CLOSED MINDED MENTALITY HAS SIPPED INTO
THE MINDS OF OUR STUDENTS AND SADLY SOME OF
OUR FOREIGN TEACHERS

Qaiser Mutawie (2013) a Saudi
writer for the Saudi Gazette,
states that hatred and disdain of
others do exist among us (pg.1).
REDUCING RACISM IN SCHOOLS
According to Garcia (2011) one method that teachers
such myself use is called Moral Admonition. This is
when I directly address the issue and demonstrate to
the learners their wrong behavior.
In my own classrooms, I use the students own culture
and religion. For example in the Quran it states It is
He, who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave
you due proportion (Verse 82:7), so I will recite that
verse to my students and the issue is over.

REDUCING RACISM IN SCHOOLS
Another method I like using is Social
learning (Ferguson, 2004). Female Saudi
students are restricted in their society
and so the idea of taking my students to
refugee camps is out of the question.
Therefore, I bring it to them in the
classrooms. I show students how many
other people live and how my students
should feel blessed and help others.
The school or university should implement Policies that aid
people in understanding different cultures. For example
in some of my classes I have Diverse Cultural
Restaurants. The aim of this activity is to allow learners
mingle and introduce themselves to other students in
different classes. This activity will also open a window for
the students parents to come to the school, cook some of
their traditional meals with their children and give an
opportunity for parents to get together with other parents
whose children are in the same grade and have the same
cultural background as their children. I know that this is a
wonderful way for different shy parents to develop their
interpersonal skills and build a group of friends. (Portland
