RNA - School officials in Georgia are looking for a student who left a note for a Muslim teacher telling her she should hang herself with her “headscarf,” following the election of Donald Trump.

According the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Mairah Teli, 24, a language arts teacher at Dacula High in Gwinnett County, discovered the note in her classroom on Friday.

Opening it up it she found it contained two crudely drawn American flags and the message: “Your headscarf isn’t allowed anymore. Why don’t you tie it around your neck and hang yourself with it off of your neck instead of your head.”

The note was signed, “America!”

According to Teli, she believes one of her students wrote the note and that she addressed the class, saying she would be happy to  speak with them if there were questions about her traditional hijab.

Teli said she had little doubt the note was inspired by Tuesday’s election of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump who made Muslim bashing a cornerstone  of a campaign loaded down with racist rhetoric.
