   When 9/11 happened I was in middle school. Shortly after the attack itself, students were veritably assaulted with pro-islamic messages. We had an Arab culture month celebrating their cuisine, history, and legends. We were told incessantly that muslims aren't our enemy, islam is a "religion of peace," etc.
   
   Some students, myself included, were very confused this. We were taught about WWII during this time and there were no qualms about japanese internment. The logic from our teachers was along the lines of the Skittles argument. They attacked us: while most Japanese were fine, enemies walked among them who could attack further or sabotage our country. Internment was seen as an ugly but necessary operation.
   
   But with the muslims, our government - and our schools - responded by spoiling them rotten. Sure we were bombing them abroad, but ALL programs on television treated them like victims and they got to migrate here and go on welfare.
   9/11 taught me my government loves her enemies and hates her people.
