MEMPHIS – A teacher in the US state of Tennessee has been suspended after a video of her ripping off the hijab of a student emerged online.

According to US media, the teacher’s Snapchat account posted two videos with the captions ‘pretty hair,’ and ‘LOL all that hair cover up,’ which were forwarded by a user to the local media.

The video was recorded at the New Vision Academy Charter school in Nashville and the principle of institute took strong action after being moved by activists.

Before their suspension, the teacher had denied making the video and said the girl’s hijab was not removed out of disrespect, said the school’s head, Tim Malone.

‘The actions depicted in the Snapchat video do not reflect the values, culture or climate of New Vision Academy,’ Mr. Malone said in a statement.

The teacher was suspended without pay while the investigations are underway. The teacher remains suspended for five days.

According to a report by Federal Bureau of Investigation, the number of hate crimes committed in the United States swelled in 2016 for the second consecutive year, with African-Americans, Jews and Muslims targeted in many of the incidents.

There were 6,121 hate crime incidents recorded last year, an almost 5 percent rise from 2015 and a 10 percent increase from 2014, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Hate Crimes Statistics report said on Monday.

A Virginia school district has placed a teacher on leave for removing a student’s hijab from her head. The student took to Twitter after the incident Wednesday saying that her hijab was “ripped off her head” by a teacher she appreciated and valued, according to WJLA.

An account that appears to belong to the student said she was talking with her friend when the teacher pulled off her hijab from behind. To her shock, he then said: “Oh, your hair is so pretty,” she said on Twitter.

The Fairfax County Public School district released a statement calling the incident “inappropriate and unacceptable.” “FCPS takes this incident seriously and, while a thorough investigation of the incident is conducted, the teacher has been placed on leave,” the district said.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations confirmed the Twitter statements from the student. “We welcome the decision to place the teacher on leave and to apologize to the student and her family, but further disciplinary action needs to be taken based on the results of the investigation into this disturbing incident,” Nihad Awad, CAIR national executive director, said. “No student should be bullied or attacked because of his or her faith. Teachers must protect students, not subject them to harassment or intimidation,”

School districts have reported hijab pulling at schools across the nation from teachers and students in recent months. CAIR also called for the removal of a teacher from a Nashville, Tennessee, charter school last week. A teacher from the school uploaded a video to social media showing a student at the New Vision Academy Charter School having her hijab removed to show students. In the video, the girl is seen trying to cover up her hair as someone tries to pull off her hijab and play with her hair. A Snapchat video of the incident showed students touching the student’s hair with the caption “pretty hair.”

The teacher was later suspended without pay last week.

“New Vision will use this video as an opportunity to press forward with increasing cultural sensitivity and awareness among all members of the New Vision community,” Tim Malone, executive director of the school, said in a statement to WSMV.

In May, a Bronx substitute teacher in New York City ripped off a second-grade student’s hijab because the student was allegedly misbehaving. The teacher was later charged with a hate crime.

Wow, seems like a reward... placed on leave instead of dismissing the bastard.

Wow, seems like a reward... placed on leave instead of dismissing the bastard.

It's so sad that a Muslim sister is being harassed by that animal, the issue is that these harassments are on th rise.

Surely Trump would be happy and laughing when he's watching such videos.

And i don't think that they are gonna do something about these harassments

 

[Jf Thunder]

so?
dont go there?
Its like Americans start to cry out that they cant wear miniskirts in Iran, Pakistan or KSA

 

[jamal18]

Guys, this might be a case of 'benign' action. The teacher thinks the girl has been 'brainwashed' to wear a hijab and thinks he is 'helping' her.

Mistaken good Samaritan.

 

[Mugwop]

This is how the student should have reacted

I'm simply stating the facts. There are a lot of decent people in this part of the world, and a lot of them, misguided according to our mindset, thinking they are helping Muslim women in this way. The teacher wasn't hurling abuse at her.

All in all, a storm in a tea cup.

 

[YeBeWarned]

Its been happening since 9\11 so nothing new .. But majority of Americans are tolerant .

Lol
Helping Muslim woman ? My foot they should first stand up and tell their gov to stop invading other countries

Help starts by first talking if they are feeling forced to do what ever they are doing or wearing

Not by abusing behaviour and pulling head scarfs straight away , that’s not helping that imposing your mind over others by force

The title is misleading... it isn't a phenomenon but rather isolated incident. You can says students are getting hijaabs pulled off.
