What Schools Are Doing To Cultivate Religious Inclusivity

As diversity across the country increases, schools are looking for ways to be inclusive of the kids that make up the community.

At 27 years old, Abrar Omeish was the youngest woman elected to public office in the commonwealth of Virginia. She remembers her high school years in Fairfax County well.  

"I remember feeling invisible and that's, you know, going through the Ramadan having to self advocate to tell a coach, for example, we're running the mile today, I'm fasting, this might not make sense for me to do," Omeish said.

Now a school board member in that same district, she's drawing from her experience to create a culture of religious inclusivity at the state's largest school system.
