[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is awful. The family seems completely nuts. What the teacher said makes sense.

God, poor teachers. If this isn’t a lesson to stay away from everyone then I don’t know what is[/quote]

I’m a public school teacher, not Muslim, and think Herman was wrong. I would not have touched a child to remove their hoodie if that’s what I thought they had on their head. The proper thing to do would be to ask the child to remove a hoodie if not permitted. If the child refused, have admin address it.

According to the article, allegedly three other families have complained about Herman’s treatment of Black girls: “ In 2017, Herman allegedly gave a Black girl’s snack bar to a White girl who was also claiming it, saying she trusted her more. In 2020, she allegedly yelled into the ear of a Black girl and later defended herself by saying simply, “I was having a bad day.” And on the day of the hijab incident, Herman is alleged to have snatched a water bottle out of the hand of a student, another Black girl.” The article goes on to say “ One of Herman’s attorneys declined to go into detail but called the allegations “grossly misconstrued and inaccurate.” Alright, explain what did happen with three other kids that they so horrible misunderstood your intentions.[/quote]
