Unfortunately, that was the least of my problems in class. Now, as the Director of Education at the Hindu American Foundation, I&#8217;m making it my personal mission to make sure today&#8217;s Hindu American youth don&#8217;t re-experience what I &#8212; and many like me &#8212; did.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I&#8217;m appealing to you as parents to make sure your children take HAF&#8217;s nationwide survey on bullying, the first ever conducted to track anti-Hindu bullying and bias in schools. It&#8217;s being done to help the White House Initiative on Asian American Pacific Islanders better combat bullying and bias.<\/p>\n<p>This survey is intended to get nationwide data on Hindu American students&#8217; 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. The survey focuses on students in grades 6-12. To participate in this survey, students are asked to click &#8220;source&#8221; above and follow the instructions. Responses will be kept anonymous. The deadline to participate in the survey is September 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source UNITED STATES, September 8, 2015 (Hindu American Foundation by Murali Balaji): When I was nine, my teacher asked me,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14449\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
