The Council on American Islamic Relations said the allegation was that the teacher had remarked, “I do not negotiate with terrorists,” when the Palestinian American student asked for a seat change.

Recent U.S. incidents involving children include the attempted drowning of a 3-year-old Palestinian American girl in Texas and the fatal stabbing of a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy in Illinois.

Other incidents include the stabbing of a Palestinian American man in Texas, the beating of a Muslim man in New York, a violent mob attack on pro-Palestinian protesters in California and the shooting of three Palestinian American students in Vermont.

    This whole thing has been about whether it is appropriate for a teacher to say it to a child.

    I couldn’t care less if adults say that to each other, nor did I call them monsters or even imply it, so I have no idea why you’re putting such vile words in my mouth.

      No. Part of it was whether she was making the comment based on race. Don’t move the goalposts now that I gave the examples you asked for.

        I did not move the goalposts at all. I have been saying the same thing this entire time. You just apparently were not paying attention.
