Bijan
is just your regular high school boy who gets good
grades, likes reading comics, hanging with his friends,
playing basketball, and secretly crushing on the most
popular girl at school. But when he scores the
winning point in the playoff games, he suddenly finds
himself at the center of a bunch of attention that he
really doesn’t want. Someone doesn’t like the fact
that an Iranian-American is getting so much attention
and emails the whole school a photoshopped image of
Bijan as a terrorist. Bijan just wants his life to
go back to normal, not become the poster boy for
Islamophobia awareness. But if he doesn’t stand up
for himself and other marginalized students at school,
who will? ( Prepared by: Marti Brown, Westwood High
School, martbrown@richland2.org) (South
