Attention Teachers: When Talking About Terrorism, Try Not to Use the Sole Muslim Kid as an Example

The teacher allegedly used Saleh as an example when she described a hypothetical homicide bombing, saying that he would carry explosives on board a plane and blow it up.Surprisingly, this lesson came right after a lecture entitled "MONUMENTAL FAILURES OF COMMON SENSE." Come on, man.

The older brother said that Saleh was then relentlessly mocked by the other students after the classroom incident in April.
"Everybody started teasing him and calling him a terrorist after the comments were made by the teacher," Mohammad said.
