No baiting intended. What do you think of this?

Muslim girl banned for bullying

She dacked boy after hijab abuse

"She's only six, it is a bit harsh"

A SIX-year-old Muslim girl has been banned from the school bus because she dacked a boy after he repeatedly told her to take off her hijab.

Darwin company Buslink sent a letter to Middle Point School at Fogg Dam stating year one student Iran Ghavami was banned for ten days for "bullying and harassment of other passengers".

Her Muslim father Karim Ghavami and non-Muslim mother Lorraine Gerassimopoulos were horrified when they pulled the letter out of their eldest daughter's school bag last Friday.

"She is only six years old it is a bit harsh," Ms Gerassimopoulos told the Northern Territory News.

"We would have preferred a warning so we could have sat down and talked about this incident but they are stopping her from going to school," she said.

But Buslink's transport services manager Aaron Blasch defended the ban saying the company was only following the Territory's Code of Conduct for School Bus Travel.

Mr Blasch said because she was only six they reduced the ban from ten to five days.

He would not say if the boy, seven, had also been banned.

"If there were other cases of bullying then they would be dealt with," Mr Blasch said.

I hope "dacked" is a good thing.

That's your opinion? Was she within her right to defend herself, or did she go too far? Should both of them have been punished?

So you think it was ok to harass the girl because of what she was wearing?

Good Muslim girl.

Yes. The only reason this even made the news is because she's Muslim.

If she wasn't Muslim, she wouldn't have been banned.

This story would not be in the paper, that is what would have happened.

Not here, but judging from the Australian headlines, it would have been.

[Heracles 417]

Not here, but judging from the Australian headlines, it would have been.

You're right, over here the headlines are more along the lines of 'three shot and two stabbed, over a parking dispute'.

Better yet, 'a six year old goes missing...' or 'a five year old is abducted while playing...'

IMO i think there making more of it cuz she is muslim she is 6. If a girl "dacked" a boy for saying she was ugly, she would have been told, that hitting is not the way things are handled and that would have been the end of it. but because she is muslim she was banned? I think if anything they should have both been punished, harrassing should not be accepted.

and i agree should not have even been in the paper.
