American Sikh Council (ASC) representative Kavneet Singh organized a Sikh exhibit at the Maryland Council for Social Studies Conference (MDCSS) which was held on March 15, 2025. The conference was held at the Salisbury University, Salisbury, MD.

 

Over 100 teachers, specialists, experts, educators, professors from the middle school, high school and beyond attended this conference. There were fourteen exhibitors and many educational sessions covering, US history, gender studies, bullying, racism, bias, social justice, genocide studies and much more.

 

ASC representative Kavneet Singh interacted with the conference attendees by having conversations and answering many questions posed by the teachers and educators. Several brochures and books covering, Sikhs and Scouts, History of Sikh Americans, The Sikh Turban, Sikhs in the World Wars, the Sustained Sikh Genocide, Another Aspect of the Gadar Movement – The Struggle for American Citizenship and Property Rights, Bullying of Sikh American Children, were displayed and distributed.

Academic books about the Sikh American pioneers and their fight for citizenship and property rights were displayed as teacher resource material.

 

The other ASC supported book written by Karanveer Singh which was well publicized at the convention was the ‘Bullying of Sikh American Children – Through the Eyes of a Sikh American High School Student’,

www.bullyingasikhamericanchildren.org since this book has even been attested byPresident Barack Obama in 2016. This book is now in over forty school districts across the Eastern seaboard.

 

Sikh heritage/cultural content in the form of four sets of workbooks were all made available electronically for free dissemination as a teacher resource material from grades 1 – 12.  

 

Some of the teachers requested ASC to hold presentations at their respective schools in Maryland.

 

ASC continues to build curriculum content for various levels in schools, including material for colleges/universities which are in progress.

The teachers were really appreciative of the in-depth understanding of the Sikh heritage, and were surprised at the wide spectrum of material touched on so many subjects under the Sikh tradition.

 

The networking and the outcome of ASC’s collective work continues to be great success, and in order to sustain this ongoing effort, ASC requests all the gurdwaras but especially member gurdwaras to step up and continue their support of these educational initiatives for the sake of all our children.
