Surmaya

I have faced Islamophobia my whole entire life but today I'll be sharing my first encounter when I was only 5years old. I remember this so vividly and it still hurts me. I was a kindergarten student in this predominantly white school in Quebec.I always use to get looks from students,teachers and staffs but it was nothing too serious.One day, my class and I were sitting for story time when 2 of my classmates started teasing me for wearing hijab and eventually both jumped on me and tried to rip my hijab off(in a very aggressive manner) I was traumatized. After the teacher told them to stop she then proceeded to put ME in time out. And mind you the two white students didn't face any consequences
