An Olympic medal-winning fencer is accusing a teacher of humiliating a second-grade girl by allegedly pulling off the child's hijab in a New Jersey classroom.
Muhammad told her 381,000 Instagram followers that theteacher, Tamar Herman,"forcibly removed the hijab" of the second-grade girl as the"young student resisted."competed while wearing a hijab
Herman's lawyer, Ronald Ricci, said the teacher did nothing wrong, though he declined to discuss any interactions she and the child might have had on Wednesday. Muhammad did not explain her relationship with the second-grade girl in Thursday's social media post. The fencer also could not be immediately reached for comment on Friday."It's not true, I know my ex-wife. I know she would never do something like that," Leonard Herman told NBC News on Friday.
"My wife is friends of hers, they work out in the gym together," he said."I don't know why she's doing this.""It's a normal course of action for any teacher in New Jersey that's tenured, with any type of allegation, that the appropriate route is for administrative leave with pay," Ricci said.
