The school’s principal has apologized for the incident, according to a spokeswoman.
Abdirizak Aden said the teacher at Shiloh Middle School in Gwinnett County, Georgia, stopped his 13-year-old daughter, who wears a hijab, and asked if she had a bomb.
Aden told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://on-ajc.com/1mfBlHj ) that his daughter was extremely upset by the comment and he went to the school to see what had happened.
“I was upset,” said Aden, who lives in Snellville and works as a truck driver and grocery store owner. “I was going to take my daughter out (of that school).”
“We are from Africa, we are Muslims, we live in America,” he said. “I didn’t teach my children to hate people or to think they are better than other people.”
Sloan Roach, a Gwinnett County Public Schools spokeswoman, told the newspaper that the school’s principal has apologized to the family.
“The remark was not appropriate, but based on their conversation and investigation,” school officials don’t believe it was made with “ill intent,” Roach said.
She said the comment came as the teacher was urging students to put away their backpacks.
The incident “shows the level of Islamophobia impacting people’s relationships with one another,” Yusof Burke, board president of the Georgia Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the newspaper.
If this teacher is still employed, there is something really sick about the principal and school board of the school.
Well with the rise of Islamic kids being traind the commit violence she had all the rights to protect her self
So what kind of bomb was it? The article didn’t say.
The muslims are terrorizing the world!!now they will forever play victims like palestenians and arabs everywhere all the time!!
These days it is more important to be politically correct than alive.
To number 1….. Why is that? Teachers say things to children all the time and get insulted by it, if someone were to say that to my child he would think nothing of it however since its a Muslim all of a sudden its a big deal
I wonder why?
And what if she had one? What would the teacher have done with that knowledge?
Did she?
I would love to see the reaction from all the bigots on this site, if a non jewish teacher asked a 13 year old Jewish boy, do you have jars of Christian blood in his bag, or if he had piles of stolen money in there?
Did the teacher ask the same question of every other student? If not– something is wrong with her!!
I guess Obama will invite them to the Oval Office and then there will be a big lawsuit and they will win millions of dollars and then they will move to Dubai
She’ll soon be invited to the White House and then they’ll sue the school for millions. typical.
