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.

    Ehh except it is something people say and when pointed at children is a cheeky acknowledgement of how children are completely unreasonable sometimes.

    It’s very common to refer to children (most often toddlers) as terrorists. Ive seen it countless times in mom groups and it never has any hate behind it.

    Elon is a Nazi because he does Nazi salutes and courts favor with Nazis, and reposts nazi propaganda, calling it true. It’s not comparable.

    When conservatives say we have “woke mind virus” this thread is exactly what they are talking about. It’s embarrassing watching something so trivial get blown into some hateful act.

          Go find a child with their parent on the street (one that you don’t know), and call them a terrorist and their parent a terrorist sympathetiser.

            Why? What’s that got to do with anything? It’s not what happened in the article. You’re just making a strawman argument.
