NJ student left in 'shock' after teacher responds to his question with remark about 'terrorists'
A Muslim Arab American high school student was left "in shock" after a teacher responded to his question about math homework using the term “terrorists." According to WABC, the teacher from Ridgefield Memorial High School in Bergen County, New Jersey, made the insensitive comment following a question from Mohammed Zubi, a senior student, regarding his math work. Zubi had asked his teacher if he could finish an assignment at home on Tuesday.
"He responded saying, 'We don't negotiate with terrorists,'" Zubi told WABC. "So I look around in shock, there's people laughing, and there's other people in shock, and I turn around and ask my friend, 'Did he really just say that?' and she said yes.”
The teacher’s name has not been released, but the comment has made its way all over social media, with individuals of all races demanding justice for the 17-year-old student, who now feels uncomfortable returning to class.
According to WABC, Zubi—who is the captain of the school’s soccer team—has not returned to school since the incident last week.
