Teacher told my child that child is not a Muslim

It's one thing if the children are saying, My parents say that I'm not allowed to do x, y, z because according to our family's religious beliefs, these things are forbidden to us'.

Quite another if they are telling random other children that they, the other children, shouldnt do these things, because (blanket statement) they are taboo.

What exactly happened?

Well that’s what I think. I’m very aware of religion and I think it’s nonsense.

Not the teachers place to make that judgement about a child and then tell the child.

Highly unlikely.
Talk to the teacher

But how do you know this actually happened, how reliable are 4yo?

In time she will say something outlandish about her parents, perhaps indicating something amiss at home, upset at home, mistreatment at home (much like the posters child who said he had rum for breakfast)

Will OP consider that her child is very advanced and no misunderstanding or miscommunication has taken place then?

I don't know why this is so unbelievable to some posters. This same thing happened to a friend of mine.

I doubt very much after the reaction of the Muslim community against some teachers any teacher would dare mention anything about islam or Muslims ? That last teacher who had to go into hiding is he even out yet ?

No she wouldn't.

She'd have exactly the same response.... Ask the teacher, because it's more than likely your daughter got the wrong end of the stick.

That's the same advice anyone sane gives anyone on MN when they say anything like "my small child says the teacher/a child said some outrageous thing"

It's almost as if the child is only 4 years old, in a new setting, and has had to have all sorts of information to take in over the past few days surrounded by noisy chaos goblins all day, and has misinterpreted a comment/statement/question from an adult, because her brain is so busy and trying to process everything...

She started school no longer than a week ago and in that time multiple teachers have told you she’s advanced and one has told her outright that she’s not a Muslim?

Who specifically has said how advanced she is?

As if a teacher would lose her career over saying that to a 4yr old. And even if in the incredibly unlikely case the teacher is Islamophobic how does telling your daughter she’s not Muslim aid her cause?

Same as if a christian child referred to everyday behaviours as sinful I suppose

Does that sound ok?

Well when in school (I was often helping out on special days or outings) and kids refuse to hold hands when told to by the teacher because it's haram I do have a problem with it. As did the teacher. Religion has nothing to do in state school. Or you choose a religious school.

Yeah, check with the teacher 'I'm sure it's a misunderstanding, but DD was upset yesterday because she thought you said.... and I want to reassure her' I'm pretty sure it'll turn out to be crossed wires.

Why on earth would you find it offensive if Muslim children were referring to things as ‘haram’ 🙄 your family is not Muslim so surely you wouldn’t care if something was haram or not.

also educate yourself on micro aggressions - you ‘ve pretended to offer the OP advice just so you were able to write how Muslims have apparently offended you, children no less.

ridiculous behaviour 🙄😡

Maybe that's why she cried.

I agree with @moondune and @User364431 A 4 year old might belong to a Muslim family but they can't possibly hold a religious belief yet.

Check with the teacher about what she actually said.

I can't imagine a teacher saying that, unless she misheard your DD.
Did your DD ask?

What my child heard and what was said does not always match at that age, could have happened but I would be extremely surprised

It would be such a bizarre thing for the teacher to say that I suspect a misunderstanding... I hope you get it cleared up and your daughter feels at ease

FFS ask the teacher what she said then decide if you're going to be angry or whatever.
