Michigan School Counselor Called Muslim Student 'Terrorist', Federal Investigation Confirms

Ann Arbor school district agrees to new measures to address harassment following U.S. Education Department probe.

The U.S. Education Department confirmed a counselor at Tappan Middle School referred to a Muslim student as a 'terrorist' in November 2023.
The Ann Arbor school district will survey students, families, and staff about harassment based on race or national origin.
The district is required to develop an action plan to address any concerns arising from the survey.
The incident occurred amid heightened tensions following the October 2023 Israel-Hamas war.
The school district will also provide training on preventing discrimination and harassment to its community.
