They say discrimination is illegal–even though it is happening right before our eyes. Think of an eight year being pulled out of the line to his flight just because of his name, Mohamed Hasan Shaikh. They pulled him out because of what, color, religion, a name? Hasan means handsome, by the way. We need to uphold the rights afforded to us as citizens of this nation.
