A junior high teacher has been slammed online after footage surfaced of her mocking a Black student's durag she had confiscated earlier in the day.

On Tuesday, Webb posted a since-deleted video holding up a durag and making fun of the item. "Things that my kids bring to school that I get to 'confinscate,'" she says, misstating the word "confiscate." "Looks like pantyhose!" She ends her video by putting the durag on her head while making a face. Aunt Karen quickly reposted the video along with Webb's personal information, including the names of her superiors at Sheridan Junior High School in Wyoming where she teaches.

But after hearing several people had been killed at a mosque, Casinader didn't waste time in booking flights. Then a contact sent him a link to what appeared to be a video of the massacre. Standing in the middle of the newsroom with his arm outstretched, the 29-year-old showed his editors the first few minutes of the livestream. As they watched the small screen resting on his palm, he noticed his hands … [Read more...] about Award-winning journalist Jehan Casinader on covering Christchurch terror attack
