Muslim Teen Being Harassed Online After Teacher Pulled Off Her Hijab, Group Says
A Muslim teenage girl is being harassed online after a teacher pulled off her hijab inside a Virginia high school and her family complained, a Muslim civil rights organization says.
According to The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the teen has received a flurry of abusive messages on social media since she said online that the teacher pulled off her hijab in front of her classmates on Nov. 16
The messages the teen received include a tweet saying “f--- that dumb Muslim b---,” and a private Twitter message saying, “F--- is wrong with you?”
Additionally, CAIR said at least one teacher at the school -- Lake Braddock High School in Burke, Virginia -- tweeted that the teacher should be “free,” which CAIR said is intimidation against the student.
