A New Jersey elementary school teacher is suing Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad for viral social media posts made last year accusing her of forcibly removing a student’s hijab, a headscarf worn by some Muslim women and girls
. The defamation lawsuit filed on Oct. 5 accuses the American fencer and other defendants of “categorically false allegations of bigotry, child abuse, and gross pedagogical misconduct.
CNN also reached out to the family’s attorney, who was unable to provide a comment about the teacher’s filing. The lawsuit comes a few weeks after the Superior Court of New Jersey dismissed the student’s parents’ religious discrimination lawsuit against Herman and the South Orange Maplewood School District Board of Education on procedural grounds. The family’s attorney told CNN on Monday that “the matter is being settled” but was unable to provide further clarification at the moment.
