Today I exerted the tiniest bit of effort in sending an "Eid Adha Mubarak" message to each of my students who happen to be Muslim. There aren't all that many of them, and that's the point. These students are very much in the minority among a predominantly Latino student population and a city that is overwhelmingly not Muslim. In my experience, small gestures like this can make a big difference in letting students AND their families know that they are considered part of the American family. Gotta add some logs to the fire now and then to keep the melting pot boiling. You can add a little good to this world, a little bad, or nothing. The last two amount to the same thing.
