Council on American-Islamic Relations offers new Educator Resource page

<p>The strength of Ohio's public schools is in the beautiful diversity of the nearly 1.7 million students they serve, and it is imperative that educators are empowered to provide culturally responsive education in inclusive environments to students of every race, background, gender, religion, and ability, so all students can learn, grow, and thrive.
