 Mairah Teli, a Muslim teacher at Dacula High School in Gwinnett County received an anonymous note in her classroom, telling her that the headscarf isn't allowed anymore.
The note has been written in black ink, reading that she "tie" her headscarf around her neck and "hang yourslef with it." According to The Washington Post, word America was written at the end of the note besides the drawing of an American flag.
In her Facebook post Mairah said, "As a Muslim, I wear a headscarf as a practice of my faith. I want to share this to raise awareness about the reality and climate of our community. Spreading hate isn't going to 'make America great again."
"I feel children feel safe making comments that are racist or sexist because of him," said Mariah, who assumes the note was written by her student. The 24-year-old language teacher feels the note is in reaction to Donald Trump's victory in the presidential race.
Meanwhile, the concerned authorities have said they are trying to identify the person who wrote the note.
