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, Thats 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 cant wait until Trump is elected. Hes going to deport all you Muslims. Muslims shouldnt be given visas. Theyll probably take away your visa and deport you. Youre going to be the next terrorist, I bet.

(11 posts)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 ".
And yet it's not hard for me to imagine people doing that.

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

(9,088 posts)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?
