ABOUT BULLY HIGH
Bully High centers around a Muslim exchange student, Maryam Ali, who proudly wears her hijab to her new high school, triggering bigotry and harassment from school officials and other students, particularly the class bully Scarlett Smith and the school’s Government teacher Bob Walker, whose traumatic pasts are the basis for their personal resentment toward Maryam. Bob’s son and star of the school baseball team Zack Walker falls for Maryam, causing conflict between him and his Christian father. Meanwhile, Maryam’s new friend, a Christian lesbian named Nicole White, also fights to strip away stereotypes and stand up for her right to live in peace.
