The father of a Muslim middle school student says a teacher asked his daughter if she was carrying a bomb in her backpack

The school's principal has apologized for the incident, according to a spokeswoman.

Abdirizak Aden said the teacher at Shiloh Middle School in Gwinnett County, Georgia, stopped his 13-year-old daughter, who wears a hijab, and asked if she had a bomb.

Aden told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://on-ajc.com/1mfBlHj ) that his daughter was extremely upset by the comment and he went to the school to see what had happened.

"I was upset," said Aden, who lives in Snellville and works as a truck driver and grocery store owner. "I was going to take my daughter out (of that school)."

"We are from Africa, we are Muslims, we live in America," he said. "I didn't teach my children to hate people or to think they are better than other people."

Sloan Roach, a Gwinnett County Public Schools spokeswoman, told the newspaper that the school's principal has apologized to the family.
