A Penn-Trafford School District teacher wore a checkered scarf around his head during an active shooter drill earlier this year — and some say it looks like a kaffiyeh.
A Pennsylvania school district is facing backlash after community members discovered a man wearing a Middle Eastern-style headdress had played the role of a gunman during an active shooter training drill.
“You could have used anyone. You didn’t have to dress him up,” Trinity Garbacz, a junior at Penn Trafford High School, told CBS affiliate KDKA. — 𝕊𝕙𝕒 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕖 ✵⧗ᗢ May 15, 2019 Ahmad Abuznaid, director of the Michigan-based National Network for Arab American Communities, told HuffPost he believes the use of the kaffiyeh in the school’s training drill is “deeply problematic.”
It was the consultant who provided the teachers with costumes and accessories to help alter their appearance so they wouldn’t be recognized by their co-workers during the drill, the district said.
