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 see why people are outraged, no student should be slapped for just being Muslim.

        If they behaved like shit it’s still wrong but somehow justifiable if the person thinks it’d help them better themselves.

        Slapping for something they just are just antagonizes them while showing the rest of the class that that’s okay to do to Muslims
