What can I do to show support?

What a horrible lesson for the children.

That is shocking. The poor man. I'm glad Neath council have taken it up.

Yes, I hope they demand action from all responsible parties.

YANBU, I'm glad his employers are demanding answers! Poor man.

Speechless

That is awful.

Dreadful

Horrible. Not sure what to do about it - #IamJuhelMiah?
But definatley campaign against Trump and the bigotry he stands for.

I'm appalled. I live locally and I also want yo show support somehow.

I wonder what our government will say.

Years ago this happened to us on a school trip, but it was a pupil. She had been born overseas somewhere and didn't have the correct visa for France. They kept us for ages in the coach and kept rechecking everyone's passport and being really suspicious. The poor girl's dad hadn't realised that we were travelling overland and had only got her a visa for our destination country.

It was really frightening and in the end they had to refuse her entry so she and our terrifying German teacher had to get off a coach at two in the morning and just... Find somewhere to stay in Folkestone.

I can't imagine in this climate how scared those kids and staff must have been for their teacher and embarrassing for the poor man who probably checked and rechecked and did everything right.

Unbelievable.

That's dreadful

That poor man

Absolutely disgraceful. I'm fascinated to hear what the US has to say about it. Or is this going to be another of those convenient bits of "fake news"?

Hopefully this will shut up anyone who thinks Trump had a point.

I'm confused.
I thought British Muslims were 'allowed'
I also thought his ban had been overturned
tbh it's bad enough it happens to anyone

I'm dying to visit new York but won't be going until this madness is over

Stealth - it could be that he has dual nationality. If the other nationality is one of the banned ones, the rule applies.

Ah ok. Thought it was the other way round.
am I being naively hopeful to hope this will help the anti trump cause.

No, the report says very clearly that he does not have dual nationality.

So brits are no longer welcome in America?
Well that's good to know :)

Unfortunately the US will not comment and no press will be allowed to ask Trump. It really is concerning that this is happening. poor teacher and colleagues and pupils.

Actually I think it's potentially a good lesson for children - they will recognise it for the shameful bigoted act that it is. Children are very good at seeing when things are unfair.

It's awful. How humiliating for that poor man. And how upsetting for his colleagues and pupils. However, he is just one of many who has been affected by this ban.

Just goes to show that our government's assurances count for nothing. I would like to see Theresa May comment on this situation.
