“I think this is a wonderful idea. I teach high school in NYC and advise a Middle East Club.”
- Athan, New York

“My son and I are interested in how your project is going. My daughter always received questions because she wears a hijab. Some people just couldn’t grasp that she was born here and was an American. My son is wondering if the t-shirt will produce similar results. If you are still looking for t-shirt wearers for your project he would like to volunteer and see what happens at school.”
-Sheila, Kansas

“My colleague forwarded me the info on your project and I think it is really interesting. I am a linguist and of course am drawn to issues of language and politics. This notion that seeing the Arabic script activates so many fears and stereotypes is intriguing.”
-Gretchen, Florida

“My company just hired our first Muslim employee and it’s great to have the diversity on the crew. There’s not much of that here in Park City...”
-DeeAnn, Utah
