Understanding the Minority Voice in a Pluralistic Society: The Case of Islamic Schools
Shatara, Leila H.; Barakat, Maysaa; Bourkiza, Mounir
International Journal of Educational Reform, v29 n1 p60-76 Jan 2020
With a growing number of faith-based private schools, charter schools, and public schools divided along ethnic and racial lines, the school system in the United States is becoming more segregated. This study aims to examine the reasons some Muslim parents choose Islamic schools over other school options and aspires to inform district and school-based administrators of what could be done to make public schools more responsive to the needs of Muslim students.
