Press Release
UNITED STATES, August 5, 2015 (HAF): Reports of anti-Hindu bias and bullying have increased in America’s schools. Hindu Americans, especially K-12 students, however, still lag behind other communities when it comes to reporting incidents of bullying and bias. To help address this disparity, the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) has partnered with the White House Initiative on Asian American Pacific Islanders (WHIAAPI) to engage Hindu American students and parents on bullying and anti-bullying enforcement.
This survey is intended to get nationwide data on Hindu American students’ experiences with anti-Hindu bias and bullying in schools. The results of the data will be published by HAF in a report subsequently used by federal agencies to help prevent and combat religion-based bias and bullying.
