“As a female, and as a mother of three daughters, it should never be OK to rip off an article of clothing off of a female, period,”
True, but don’t rip clothes off of boys either.
Not sure if the teacher just recorded or removed the hijab, but don’t post pics of other people’s kids, or your students to social media accounts either.

  THIS.
  Seriously, this can fuck you more than the act of removing the clothing, depending on the circumstances.

  I mean neither should ever be done, but the electronic record adds an extra harassive component to this (for me at least) and you should be able to trust that the school/trachers you must legally send your kids to, isn’t cyberbullying or otherwise exploiting them for clicks or creeps.

Oh fuck that. Christ, can adults just, like, NOT indulge in the same sort of silly-ass taboo-breaking thrillseeking that children do?

  Adults are just kids who got bigger. They are going to keep doing stupid things if they never got checked, i.e., parenting. “Growing up” is a mindset. That’s the root of many of societies ills, after all. The worst part is Kindergarten Rules cover about 90% of all interpersonal contact.

  I can get a bit fierce when I “clap back,” so I’ve been trying to mellow out a bit. That said, I will never - EVER - pull punches when it comes to grown adults acting like fucking children. At a certain point in life, you have to make the conscious decision to let your five-year-old side take the wheel. If you’re not going to have the decency to be embarrassed by that, and are going to go so far as to defend it, you get both barrels.
  “I wanna be irrational!” Good, idiot. Please do the decent thing and become a food source for your betters.

If better training helps, great. Honestly, I don’t think teachers should need any special training to know that it’s inappropriate to engage in that sort of behavior, since it ought to be perfectly obvious in the first place.

  Yep. Don’t touch my kid. Period. Full stop. Do not pass go. Do not collect your righteousness points for the day.
  My kid gives you shit, she has her own set of problems to deal with at home.

  I really don’t see how “special training is needed for a grown ass adult (let alone a fucking teacher) to just learn that this shit is wrong. You should just know that already as a human adult.
  If you need “special training” to br taught not to do this, you’re simply not cut out to work with kids, period. Find another career.

“Malone originally told WSMV that the teacher denied making the video and said removing the girl’s hijab was not done out of disrespect.”
“Instead, it was done out of hate, of course.” - Malone finished.

  “Was not done out of disrespect.”
  I love that hate crime perpetrators think that they alone somehow have the power to unilaterally (and retroactively) decide what the intended significance of their act was.
  “You called him a faggot and punched him in the face.”
  “Yeah but I didn’t mean that in a disrespectful way.”
  “Oh, ok then. Case dismissed.”
  “Really?”
  “NO, fuckface. There’s no such thing as the ‘no disrespect intended’ defense.”

Imagine if they snatched a cross necklace off a kid’s neck. They would have been fired pretty quick probably.

  Seriously. Or a yarmulke, even. Either of those would have been instant termination.
  But, the victim isMuslim, so they’re “investigating” and not naming the teacher, hoping they can ride out the news cycle, quietly reassign the teacher and reach a settlement with the family. If the student had been a Sikh whose turban had been ripped off, probably the same thing.

These fucking people... When I was a kid growing up in the south, my sister couldn’t wear pants till she was a teen. We went to church at least twice a week, we didn’t trick or treat, we understood the true meaning of Christmas, most stores weren’t open on Sunday and we observed about a million other conservative Christian things. I won’t debate the legitimacy of any of those things, nor will I defend them, but I knew even then how people who weren’t conservative Christians viewed them, and it heightened my awareness of how I viewed others. How fucking blind, stupid, and generally unaware does one need to be to genuinely not understand that removing someone’s hijab is an assault on her religion? Not some imagined attack, like someone saying “happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”, but an actual fucking attack on this child’s religion. Whiteness is truly a helluva drug...

However, the student’s mother and sister soon got involved and the teacher was suspended without pay last Wednesday ~~and~~ will ~~either~~ be fired or not have his contract renewed ~~and will not be allowed to teach any children at this school~~
Shit, I had to edit myself on that one. Fire his ass, now.

What the fuck is with the realm of teachers doing shit like this? When did your teaching degree ever infer that you were now somehow the Colonel and they had to deal?
Then I see shit like the schools who allow all of the new, less-scientific textbooks as well... the internet works, computers are fast, maybe it’s time for more home schooling.

  It is a charter school, so we don’t know if the teacher even has a teaching degree (down there, more than likely not).
  Remember, the for-the-moment Secretary of Education is all-in on charters. The hijab-ripping fulfills another one of her dreams.

I will fully admit that my white privilege is showing because I had no idea that the hijab had more meaning than just the religious head garment. I really like the purpose of it and really have a lot more respect for people who wear them.
Oh, and fuck this teacher. Don’t ever touch a child that isn’t yours. Don’t EVER rip clothes off any child. Period... Deserves to be straight fired. The fact that it was put online makes this a whole ‘nother level higher than the “it was a mistake”.... No, this teacher thought “I’m going to do this, lets film it for online.” That takes an additional step to disrespect the student....
Let the teacher go and the district can show that this shit really doesn’t stand.
