High school student expelled from school due to mother's pro-Palestine posts

According to reports in U.S. media, 15-year-old Jad Abuhamda, a student at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, was expelled from the school due to social media posts made by his mother, Maha Almasri, who worked as a math teacher at the same school, criticizing Israel's "collective punishment" in Gaza.

In a written statement, the school administration claimed that Almasri's social media posts were "hateful and inflammatory," while Almasri denied the allegations, stating that her posts were only intended to draw attention to the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza.

Abuhamda, a sophomore in high school, emphasized that being expelled for this reason from the school where he had been a student for 10 years was unfair and a source of disappointment.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the U.S., called on the U.S. Department of Education to investigate the incident in a statement regarding the matter.
