AZ teacher to Muslim student: 'I can’t wait until Trump is elected. He’s going to deport all you'

The ACLU has filed an official complaint against an Arizona public charter school after a sixth grade teacher from the Academy of Excellence in Phoenix repeatedly viciously harassed a Muslim student who is a refugee from Somalia. From Medium.com:

On one occasion, A.A.’s teacher showed a video to the class about 9/11 terrorists and then said to A.A. in front of the entire class, “That’s going to be you,” suggesting that he was destined to become a terrorist himself.

Another time, when A.A. raised his hand to answer a question, his teacher snapped at him — “All you Muslims think you are so smart” — in front of the entire class. Then, referring to the fact that A.A. and his family were resettled in the United States on refugee visas, the teacher started ranting about Donald Trump, telling A.A.:

“I can’t wait until Trump is elected. He’s going to deport all you Muslims. Muslims shouldn’t be given visas. They’ll probably take away your visa and deport you. You’re going to be the next terrorist, I bet.”

My daughter is dating a lovely young man who happens to be Muslim. He drives an expensive car and dresses nice.He is soft spoken and extremely polite. When he comes for a weekend visit, I see some of my old white neighbors take down his license plate number.
We just laugh about it...................but it IS rude and hurtful. I could see if he appeared to be shifty but that is not the case. Their ignorance is appalling. I keep telling myself to pray for them because "God don't like ugly ".

Just think of all the unreported incidents like this, and it's all on YOUR dime.

This is why we can't have charter schools, and also why they always fail.

Should presidential candidates be held to a higher standard than teachers? Yes, this teacher should be fired, but where is the outrage in the media or across over 45% of the voting population at Trump?
