Abstract
This article provides several reasons why Asian-American and Pacific-Islander students are bullied, such as "racial tensions, resentment of immigrants and language barriers..., the stereotype of API students as unassertive overachievers, and the spike in attacks against students perceived as Muslim." It includes strategies and resources that schools, teachers, and policy makers can use to "protect students and empower the school community" against bullying.
