Oh they told us that was a possibility too. One of my teachers gave us a whole lecture about how Muslims could hide among "normal people" and that we should be on the lookout for any anti-American sentiments. We were even told our fellow students could be "secret Muslims." One time a cop in high school cornered me and asked if I had seen anyone suspicious, I asked what he meant, and then he gave an example of someone wearing a turban. This particular racist panic came to its culmination with Obama's election I guess.
9/11 was a really weird time for me, since I was getting around to an age where I was more aware of the world, but also the world was getting extremely weird
Did I mention the daily flag prayers my school did? They did that. Just loop hands around the flag and pray for America and Bush.

I can't wait to hear the fucked up stories people will have of going to school when the 'rona began.
