A student in Dover, Delaware, is now calling out her school.
She and her mother, Kristina Sellers, talked to Action News on Wednesday about alleged hurtful comments made about her Muslim religion at Central Middle School.
"I think my culture is beautiful, and I would never be ashamed of wearing my Khimar because of what other people are saying," she said. "He said, 'Sub-Zero, your mom's here.' I said, 'Why do you keep calling me that?' He said, 'Cause that thing on your head makes you look like Sub-Zero,' and then everybody started laughing," said Flamer.Flamer's mother is concerned about what happens from here.
