10-Year-Old Boy Investigated for ‘Terrorist’ Spelling Mistake

The father of a 10-year-old Muslim boy said he is “very angry” that his son was investigated by police after writing that he lived in a “terrorist house” during an English lesson at school.                                                                                                “He wrote it because he was trying to write ‘terraced house,’ and he misspelt it,” the child’s cousin told the BBC. The student’s father told the Telegraph on Wednesday that the incident in Lancashire, England, on Dec. 7 was a “joke” because “if a white kid had said it they would never have acted in this way.”
