A line should be drawn at physically grabbing and pulling them off. There's no need for that kind of aggressive behavior.

Muslim Students Are Getting Their Hijabs Pulled Off by Teachers in Classrooms Across the Nation

Quote:
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.

I remember when a teacher grabbed my hat off my head, few times it happened because I kept wearing it. They should mind their business, it is not bothering anyone.

No hats in school. That was always the rule at my school.

Pretty sure you'd both be singing a different tune if it was your kid the teacher got physical with.

Too bad your school never taught you that a hijab is not a hat.

A hijab has nothing to do with a hat, genius.

If some teacher touched my kid and started ripping off her clothes, that teacher would be now in the hospital.

Unless it's Halloween, costumes shouldn't be allowed at school.

Yep, we know enough not to wear costumes to school the rest of the year here. But in the mentally ill states, not so much. That's OK, we know you're special, we love you anyway.
