Police sources said Safa Alzockary, 8, was misbehaving in class at Public School 76 on May 2 when substitute teacher Oghenetega Edah, 31, told her to remove her hijab, a traditional covering for the head and neck worn by some Muslim women.
Are the other kids allowed to wear hats, scarves, etc., in school? If not, then no special treatment for anyone, especially in a PUBLIC school. Separation of church and state, remember?
The same as ripping the Crucifix from a Catholic girl's neck or knocking the yarmulke from a Jewish kid's head...inexcusable.
It is actually far worse. It is more like tearing the skirt off a Catholic girl or making a Jewish student completely disrobe and parade around class naked. The teacher should be facing criminal charges in addition to being fired.

WTF is going on in my country?
Separation of church and state in a PUBLIC facility.
