(ABC7 NY) RIDGEFIELD, New Jersey (WABC) — A cruel remark directed at an Arab American student has sent shockwaves through Ridgefield Memorial High School.
Mohammed Zubi, a 17-year-old senior, was in a math class asking a question when it happened. The comment caught everyone off guard, and was loud enough for other kids in the class to hear.
“He responded saying, ‘we don’t negotiate with terrorists,’ so I look around in shock, there’s people laughing, and there’s other people in shock, and I turn around and ask my friend, ‘did he really just say that?’ and she said yes,” said Zubi.
