A school teacher in India has subjected a seven-year-old Muslim student to degrading treatment inside a classroom, asking his classmates to slap him and asking for him to be evicted due to his religion, a video now viral on social media has revealed.

The video, which surfaced on Friday, showed Trapta Tyagi, the teacher at the school in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, making Islamophobic remarks in addition to encouraging other students to slap him harder.

    I don’t think you need to find some edge case where it is okay for kids to be beaten or rank the level of how evil and good various situations are. Just say that people should not be subject to violence except in very dire, regular people will never encounter, situations. Most people will understand.
