So the teacher tapped her on her arm to get her to move, The New York Post reported.When she did not comply, Edah, a subsitute, threatened to take the scarf.
"This alleged behaviour is completely unacceptable," Michael Aciman, a Department of Education spokesman, said in a statement.
"This individual was removed from the school immediately and his employment has been terminated," he said.Edah became a per diem substitute teacher in January 2017, the report said.
His termination was effective May 3.The incident that took place last week was under investigation, police said.
The Department of Investigation was also looking into it.Parents at the school say the ill-tempered substitute only worked at Bennington for a short while.
"It's crazy...I just feel like teachers are supposed to control their anger a little bit more.
That's your job," Yvarie Ortiz, a parent of a first-grader at the school said.The incident comes amid growing incidents of hate and assaults on hijab-wearing girls and women across the US. »
