The student, a boy, was not only constantly bullied and mistreated by his classmates, but also by his teacher, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a letter to the school board.
. .
The teacher, a female, would single out the student and require him to carry a heavy backpack throughout the day, which caused the boy — identified as "Malik" — to "develop significant back pain," CAIR Civil Rights Staff Attorney Maha Sayed wrote in her letter to the school beard.

In addition to an "immediate and thorough" investigation of the incidents, CAIR is asking for cultural and religious diversity training for the faculty and staff of the school, which serves roughly 720 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.

The teacher has not been named because she has not been charged with any crime.

According to the story, the alleged harassment began during the first week of school and persisted until just a few days ago. That seems hard to believe. If the story is true, the child's parents should have complained to school authorities the first time the harassment occurred, and the principal would presumably have put a stop to it and possibly suspended the teacher.

Are the principal and faculty insane? By letting it go on for weeks, they would be risking massive lawsuits, loss of their jobs, and possible criminal penalties. That's why this is so hard to believe.

Why does the school have a beard?

Razors and other sharp instruments are outlawed on school property.
