Teacher suspended after video shows her pulling hijab off students head

A video was posted on social media earlier this week showing a student wearing a hijab and hiding her face as someone took the headscarf off her head, exposing her hair to the classroom.

As she tries to readjust the religious head covering other students can be seen playing with her hair.

The video was posted on Snapchat along with the caption, “pretty hair.” The video was taken at the New Vision Academy Charter School in Nashville. A second video was also posted with the caption, “lol all that hair cover up.”

A viewer sent the recording to a news station after viewing it on social media after it was reportedly posted from the teacher’s social media account.

It is good there is evidence, but the fact that is on the internet must be horrible to this poor girl.

Ignorance/cruelty like this from a teacher should be grounds for firing.

The teachers serve at the pleasure of the owners of the school, who are not answerable to any scruffy parents or unwashed members of the public.
