A Cypress Bay High French teacher has been suspended for five days without pay, and will have to undergo a diversity training program, for calling a Muslim student a “******* Taliban’’ when the 14-year-old walked into class wearing a hoodie last month.


The punishment didn’t please the student’s father. Youssef Wardani wanted the teacher, Maria Valdes, fired or suspended for a year without pay for what he calls racist comments.

On Tuesday, Wardani addressed the Broward School Board, who voted unanimously to discipline the teacher, who has been teaching in Broward Schools for 11 years.

“My son is Deyab-Houssein Wardani, [and] he’s not a ******* Taliban,” Wardani told the school board members.

Wardani said his son, who is of Lebanese and Moroccan descent, was bullied by his teacher, and accused the school board of not acting swiftly enough. He referred to Valdes’ suspension as a “five-day vacation.”

“I promise you for the rest of my life, until my dying breath, I’m going to make sure no child goes through what my Deyab-Houssein had to go through,” he said after the meeting.

Superintendent Robert W. Runcie, who filed an administrative complaint after he was informed about Valdes’ comments, said he responded as soon as he learned of the issue.

“I take a lot of exception to any statement, or suggestion that somehow this administration and school board did nothing or was ever lax in our response,” Runcie said. “To the contrary, this matter was taken very seriously and was addressed with an appropriate sense of urgency.”

According to the administrative complaint, Valdes stated, “Ah no! The Taliban is here,” when Deyab-Houssein would walk into the classroom at the Weston school, 18600 Vista Park Blvd. She’d also call on him by saying, “OK the Taliban, what is the answer?” and “Let’s ask the Taliban.”

The teacher continued to refer to Deyab-Houssein as “the Taliban,” and “terrorista,” which means terrorist in Spanish, until Wardani complained to the school administration.

Deyab-Houssein said other students laughed when she made her remark. He said he didn’t know the teacher was referring to him by the name of a terrorist organization until he asked his parents what the Taliban is, following the first incident.

After learning what the name meant, his response was: “This is definitely not funny.”

Only 5 days? You'd hope that a teacher of any curriculum would have enough common sense not to say something as idiotic as that. I smell a major lawsuit coming on.

"Was that wrong? Cuz I gotta tell ya, nobody said anything to me about that being wrong."

 
Geez...I'm all about telling the pc police to cram it but damn.

This chick shouldn't be teaching for at least a year and get some damned sensitivity training.

 
This seems pretty over the top. I wonder if we are getting the full story here. No, I am not trying to justify what the teacher said (and apparently continued to say), but something doesn't seem complete in this story.

You can't honestly feel it's OK for a teacher to repeatedly call a student that...can you?

Has it been proven that the kid isn't a terrorist? I didn't think so.

I'm not for making fun of kids but his old man should be fair game.

ETA> Taliban is kind of a cool nickname. Kid could use it to his advantage.

Racist teacher aside, how does a 14 year old not know what the taliban is?

And has he publicly denounced them yet? If not he's obviously sympathetic.

Oh, he knows exactly who the Taliban are. Ignorance is part of their cover.
