Canada: Teacher tells muslim student he "doesn't belong here"

Administrators were thrust into full damage control mode on Tuesday when an audio recording of an in-class scolding of a Muslim pupil, attributed to a teacher at North Edmonton’s Londonderry Junior High, was leaked to social media.

Interestingly, the brewing tensions over Muslim students declining to partake in in-class Pride activities recall the “reasonable accommodation” debates of yesteryear — only with the ideological roles reversed.

I would argue that all this stuff - religion and political agendas have no place in schools. Just stick to Maths and Science and educating kids ffs
