Gwinnett County, GA teacher asks Muslim student if she has a bomb

http://www.ajc.com/news/lifestyles/gwinnett-teacher-asks-muslim-student-if-she-has-a-/nphLj/

The parent of an eighth-grade Muslim student at Shiloh Middle School in Gwinnett County is angry after an incident in which a teacher asked his daughter if she was carrying a bomb in her backpack.

Abdirazik Aden, who was born in Somalia, said that on Monday, his 12-year-old daughter was going to class when a teacher stopped her and asked what she had in her bookbag.

He said his daughter told her books. The unidentified teacher responded by asking her if she had a bomb in her bag....

“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. I don’t want nobody to treat them like that.”

Before you know it, the student will be suing the school district for $15 million.

10. If that's what it takes to stop this abuse of Muslim children so be it

Take their hate to a tea illy or trump rally. Taxpayers are not paying teachers to hate on students during the school day . Maybe the kid should have asked what's stuck up her ass!

7. Teacher needs a lesson...there need to be increasing lawsuits. At some time or other, the public

who has to pay the bills will tire of large settlements. Same for over-policing. Those in positions of power are to be held to a higher standard than others.

8. The Public

Is filled with brain dead, mouth breathers...especially in the South. The biggest problem being that most of the states are controlled by the KKK/Nazi party, they call themselves Republicans, but most intelligent people know better!

And these racists, bigots, and religious fanatics would rather have tax payers foot the bill for lawsuits, more then they want to treat people as individuals!

9. When "the public" feels it in their pocketbook...no matter what their insanity..that they understand

And most are taxpayers...even Republicans. I still contend that as large lawsuits get paid not only the public but the organizations themselves...taxpayer or not...will get better at learning how to play nice.
