U.S. elementary school student Mohammad Suleiman, 6, who was born with Down syndrome, was feared as a terrorist by his teacher after he kept repeating ‘Allah’ and ‘boom’ in his classroom, a media report said.
Suleiman’s father said a substitute teacher at the C.J. Harris Elementary School, which is located in Pearland near Houston, made the call.
Calling it “discrimination”, he added that his son doesn’t speak at all and has the mental capacity of a one-year-old, The Independent reported.
