| Due
to the inaccurate and biased information taught in the
schools, Asian Indian students undergo a conflicting and
demoralizing religious and cultural education in the American
public school system. Other students receive false understanding
and build a negative perception of Hinduism and Indian
culture.
The misinformation being taught in the schools creates
a negative perception of India,
her people and her culture. This image perpetuates incorrect
written and pictorial reports in the media. These inaccurate
and prejudicial accounts harm the self esteem of the
Hindu population and promote the rejection of a valuable
historical and religious legacy.
This
misinformation negatively impacts Hindu youth who feel
ridiculed and ostracized by their peers because of their
religious affiliation, a freedom granted by the U.S.
Constitution.
