Hijab-gate lawsuit filed. It's lottery time....

[3Hotdogs]

Lawsuit (shakedown) was filed against the Maplewood Board of Ed. in response to a teacher accused of pulling a hijab off of a second grade student.

Student wore a hoodie over her head, against school policy, Teacher reached down to remove. Teacher then saw the kid's hijab was not under the hood and pulled the hood back up.

Then, we are told, the kid was traumatized and has lost all joy and pride in her hijab.

BUT

video recorded by the mother, shows the kid being coached by the mother and giggling, while trying to describe the "trauma" she experienced.

Will the insurance company settle?

1. More like lottery hysteria time.

These type cases usually generate more litigation outrage/hysteria than actual “lottery” payout. Such hysteria is usually a right wing thing designed to seed support for tort deform.
