(Global News) Dozens of Calgary students marched out of their school Tuesday to protest the injustices, racism and microaggressions they say their school administration isn’t doing enough to stop.
Muna Bouh and Rahma Abdela are in high school at the Calgary Islamic School Akram Jomaa Campus. The girls, who both identify as black, staged a walkout to have their voices heard by the school.
“As a black Muslim in this community, me and a lot of my fellow classmates are hit with injustices every day just because of our skin colour,” Grade 11 student Bouh said.
“We’re out here today to voice our concerns and to show admin and teachers and everybody who is part of the problem that we’re not going to stay silent anymore,” she said.
