A DIFFERENCE IN PERSPECTIVES
Questions
1 Nikhil believes it is unjust to allow other students to display religious symbols while he is not allowed to do the same. Do you agree? Why or why not?
2 It appears as though Mr. Ortiz is concerned about the lack of time he has to address the issue in class. If you were Mr. Ortiz, how would you address the situation given the time limitations?
3 Should Mr. Ortiz and other educators at the school educate the student body about the history of this religious symbol so that Nikhil can continue wearing the necklace? How might the religious identities of people in the school and broader
community influence your response?
