Georgia, USA: The Sikh Coalition reportedly worked with the local sangat in Georgia to provide a rapid media response in the wake of a viral school bullying video that was recently circulated on the Internet.
“The video depicts a Sikh middle school student being called a “terrorist” by fellow students on a school bus. While respecting and supporting the privacy of all involved we secured interviews on CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox for Shawn Tucker and Aasees Kaur”, a Sikh Coalition newsletter reads.
“Shawn is a Sikh Coalition Advocate and Aasees is the older sister of Japjee Singh, a client that the Sikh Coalition represented in a landmark school bullying case. We also worked with Aasees to secure an Op-Ed on the problem of bullying in the Atlanta Journal Constitution – the largest paper in Georgia”, the Sikh Coalition newsletter reads further.
