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.
Please show me an example of a teacher calling a child a terrorist. If it is very common, like you say, you can show evidence of it.
I have never called my child a terrorist, nor would I, because that’s fucking sick. None of the parents I know ever have either. Terrorists murder people.
You’ve got Google so you can look it up yourself. But heres a few of many different references to the joke:
Chris Distefano, a pretty well known comedian does a bit on it.
Here’s a t-shirt from a baby clothes website: https://heybaby.threadless.com/designs/tiny-terrorist-stretch/kids/baby-t-shirt

There obvioualy won’t be a video of a teacher saying it because you don’t film other people’s children and post it online.
How do you and others not get this? There won’t be a video of a teacher saying it, because it is not an appropriate thing for a teacher to say to a child.
It doesn’t matter if you or others think it’s extremely common. It doesn’t matter if you say it every day. It doesn’t even matter if you say it to your own child.
And I have no idea why you and others think that it’s okay.
Well it does matter, because it’s reality. You exist in the real world, not just an online world made up of echo chambers to your liking. People are going to make jokes not to your taste and they aren’t monsters because you don’t have the same sense of humor.
It’s not like I’m saying it’s an appropriate thing to say to a child in a classroom, just that it’s an established joke and not a default “this person is a racist” kinda comment.
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.
