Mohamed's first day of school
Mohamed entered his classroom on the first day of school.
"What's your name?" asked the teacher.
"Mohamed," he replied.
"You're in America now," replied the teacher, "So from now on you will be known as Kevin."
Mohamed returned home after school.
"How was your day, Mohamed?" his mother asked.
"My name is not Mohamed. I'm in America and now my name is Kevin."
"Are you ashamed of your name? Are you trying to dishonor your parents, your heritage, your religion? Shame on you!"
And his mother beat him.
Then she called his father, told him what happened and he beat him again.
The next day Mohamed returned to school. The teacher saw all of his bruises.
"What happened to you, Kevin? she asked.
"Well ma'am, shortly after becoming an American, I was attacked by two fuckin' Arabs
