Disgusting: TX Teacher to Muslim Student: ‘I Bet You’re Grieving… About Your Uncle’s Death’
This makes me so angry I can’t even begin to comprehend how someone even thinks of doing something like this. The teacher has been placed on leave, pending an outcome from a personal investigation.
The death of Osama bin Laden is related to an investigation of a teacher at Clear Brook High School. The teacher is accused of making a racially insensitive comment to a student in front of the entire class.
A Friendswood mom says she was offended by what her daughter says happened Monday in ninth grade algebra. She said, “The teacher told the student that ‘I bet you’re grieving.’ And she basically looked at him and said what are you talking about? And he said I heard about your uncle’s death and she said wow, because she understood that he was referring about Osama bin Laden being killed and was racially profiling her.”
“The student ended up crying over what was said to her by the teacher and the teacher asked her why she was crying and another student said it was because of what you said earlier. And his response was, oh, OK, and just kind of smirked and giggled and walked away.”
At least there is some hope for the world, the girl who this was said to, an American of Muslim faith, had this to say:
“Make it a lesson learned about how the world is going through stuff and he needs to watch what he says and so do others because Osama does not represent the whole Muslim faith.”
The mom says that the girl remains in class and she is grateful that her classmates stuck up for her.
