A Clear Creek ISD teacher has been placed on administrative leave after being accused of making insensitive comments to a Muslim student about the death of Osama bin Laden.
The Clear Brook High School teacher is accused of profiling a student in his ninth-grade algebra class Monday by telling the girl, "I bet that you're grieving."
...Aziz Siddiqi, president of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston, said he believes the remark was an isolated incident, but is encouraged by reports that other students helped comfort the girl and reported the incident.
"Her supporters were her classmates. To them, she's a friend," Siddiqi said. "I would not pay too much attention. It's just one individual. A lot of people suffer because of the actions of one individual. This little girl suffered."
Siddiqi added that he is consulted often by teachers with questions about Islam and others seeking to learn more about the religion.
"The teacher is going to suffer," Siddiqi added. "I think every society has some people who are a little off. He may be one of those."

There’s a disease loose in our land and it’s called liberalism and political correctness.
Imagine if Hitler had been killed at some point in WW2, there would have been jubilation in every class room in the country without a thought to what some students of German heritage might think.
Screw all the muzzie bastards, an evil enemy is dead. Celebrate it.
In a statement, the district elaborated about the incident at the Friendswood school: "In the Clear Creek Independent School District, we believe diversity strengthens our community and seek opportunities to celebrate the different cultures within our schools and neighborhoods.
No, this is more proof that diversity is...well... divisive.
Professors take on role as high priests of activism
Houston Chronicle ^ | April 12, 2003 | RON NISSIMOV
[excerpt] As they gathered downtown earlier this week to protest the war in Iraq, a motley group of students and activists busily readied the tricks of their trade.
A couple of men gingerly laid on the sidewalk two cardboard “caskets” topped with plastic flowers and the bloodied heads and body parts of baby dolls.
A man wearing a white Cheshire cat mask hung a severed fake head of Vice President Dick Cheney, with a “666” scribbled on its forehead and plastic sword speared into the top.
A young woman expertly dabbed white and black makeup on a young man’s face to evoke an image of a ghoulish skeleton.
But the leader of the pack simply donned his professor’s gown.
“This is a mock funeral for the innocent victims of the war against Iraq, and this was the closest thing I had to a minister’s gown,” University of Houston professor Bob Buzzanco quipped about the black robe with royal blue felt stripes that UH had given him to wear at graduation ceremonies....

“The teacher is going to suffer....”
Diss a muslim, filthy kuffar, and you will pay the price, inshallah!
And just how many muzzies ARE mourning the death of bin Laden? Gazillions of them, that’s how many!

That’s the first time I’ve heard a 9th grader called a little girl!
Same guy: Tenure of Avowed Marxist Controversy jolts College
Bet she can’t wait to have her clit cut off, have that arranged marriage to some 50 year old goat trader, and then be stoned to death for having an affair with an infidel. Wear that burkha proudly stupid! You’re part of a master race of inhuman terrorists!
Yeah well I think it was insensitive of Bin Laden to kill thousands of Americans.
Did anybody even read the article here? “I bet that you’re grieving.”?? Unless the girl was wearing a black armband and “Osama We Miss You” t-shirt, it was a pretty damfool thing to say....
With Aziz Siddiqi, president of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston jumping all over this, I’m reminded of Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley.
These people have NO credibility.
Some teachers are just jerks. This guy sounds like one of them.
We have quite a few Muslim kids at the high school and they were posting satirical Facebook statuses like “Uncle Osama died unexpectedly” and such
Not quite correct. In your scenario, the teacher would have gone to German students and told them they must be grieving at the death of Adolf.
This teacher didn’t just not care if some terrorist sympathizer was distraught, he went to a student and assumed they had to be grieving because a terrorist was killed.
Granted, this story does not give all the details but if they are correct as given and there isn’t some smoking gun, the teacher’s conduct was unacceptable and stupid.
And my point is there isn't equal treatment for teachers who tow the liberal-diversity love fest line and often cross it with little or no consequences.
The teacher who made the remark is a horse’s ass.
My bad.
Always remember, the idea of “political correctness” started out with the name “cultural Marxism”.
