	Arab American students in American public schools
		Ensure that Arab American students are treated equitably and without prejudice by teachers and peers, and that teachers respond to incidences of racism and discrimination strongly and quickly, with attention to both the perpetrators and the victims.
		Inclusion of Arab Culture Although Arab Americans may be one of the smaller minorities in schools, they should be represented in multicultural courses and activities to validate their culture and educate all students about the Middle East.
		To accommodate the individuality of Arab families, it is important for teachers and counselors to take the lead from students and their parents when approaching them about school and other related issues, and to be knowledgeable about Arab culture as a whole (Adeed and Smith, 1997).

	The Arab American News - What, if anything, is Arab American poetry?

	Arab-American Culture and Health Care
		The exact number of Arab Americans is not known, because often they are reluctant to identify themselves as being of Arabic descent out of a general fear of authority or out of concern about possible negative social reactions (1).
		Because of their tremendous diversity, one way of classifying Arab Americans has been with regard to the period of, and reason for, their emigration to the United States.
		By the 1950s, the Arab world was breaking free of European colonial rule and experiencing a surge of Arab consciousness, thus immigrants in the second wave were able to retain more of an Arab identity once they arrived in the United States (1) (5).

		Arab Americans are becoming increasingly sophisticated about the political system, but the very diversity of their communities – as Suleiman pointed out, they are as diverse in background as Latino immigrants – and the fervor of their political beliefs, which results in an unwillingness to compromise, work against them.

	Arab History
		That was the age of tribal Arab nationalism when that national spirit was based on the sacred foundation of the tribe, on its origin and kinship, and on its honor and dignity.
		This phase of Arab history began after the fall of the last civilization of our kinsmen, the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Chaldians, the Phoenicians and Cananites, to whom we are indebted and stand as representatives, and we connect this to Christianity and the rise of the two Christian Arab Kingdoms, the Ghassanids and Montherits.
		The Arab people were intoxicated and their land was flatly opened to the many savage conquerors who humiliated the Arab personality and destroyed Arab civilization, for they were non-Arabs and used the governing system to suit their interests and that was all they worked for.

	Being Arab American - Mideast Youth - Thinking Ahead
		It bothers me that people who aren’t Arab American, and who have no idea what it is like to be Arab American, feel qualified to spout such hateful rhetoric at me, on a site dedicated to free speech and positive change.
		When put into context, Arab Americans aren’t “oppressed.” Yes, we experience discrimination and racism, etc., but we are not oppressed; the fact that you have a choice of joining the military or not (minus an activation of the draft), proves my point.
