A French teacher from Florida has been suspended for five days without pay for allegedly calling her 14-year-old Muslim student Deyab-Houssein Wardani ( pictured ) a 'raghead Taliban ' Deyab-Houssein , who did not know the Taliban referred to a terrorist organization until he asked his parents , said the other students in his class laughed at the nickname . ' I would not expect this from a teacher , teachers are supposed to set an example for their students , ' he told the Sun Sentinel . 'It 's very sad that people still think like that , that all Muslims are your average daily terrorist . ' Valdes will also have to undergo a diversity training program . The punishment is not enough for Deyab-Houssein 's father Youssef , who said that , at a minimum , he believes the teacher should have been suspended for a year without pay - if not fired . Wardani said the five-day suspension amounted to a 'vacation ' . He made his anger loud and clear after the punishment was passed down at the Broward School Board 's meeting on Tuesday . The father told school administrations they should 'all be removed for bullying , ' according to Local 10 . Superintendent Robert W. Runcie , who filed the administrative complaint after he was notified of Valdes ' alleged comments , said the matter was taken 'very seriously ' and was addressed with the 'appropriate sense of urgency ' . ' I take a lot of exception to any statement , or suggestion that somehow this administration and school board did nothing or was ever lax in our response ' , he said , according to the Miami Herald . The punishment is not enough for Deyab-Houssein 's father Youssef , who said that , at a minimum , he believes the teacher should have been suspended for a year without pay - if not fired . During the meeting Runcie , a Jamaican immigrant , said that he had personally been affected by racism . He shared the story of when he watched his mother get shot in the face by a man who blamed Jamaican immigrants for his inability to get a job . Wardani said this was not the first time his son , who is half Lebanese and half Moroccan , has experienced discrimination . In the fourth-grade a school bus driver who knew Deyab-Houssein was Muslim told him 'we 're going to wipe you off the face of this planet and turn you into dust and sand , ' Wardani told the Sun Sentinel . Although the school board voted unanimously to discipline the teacher , Wardani was not done fighting after the meeting was over . ' I promise you for the rest of my life , until my dying breath , I 'm going to make sure no child goes through what my Deyab-Houssein had to go through , ' said Wardani , who has reached out to the FBI . 'This is motivating me to work harder , ' Deyab-Houssein said . 'To prove that I am not a random guy who you can call a Taliban ' ' I promise you for the rest of my life , until my dying breath , I 'm going to make sure no child goes through what my Deyab-Houssein had to go through , ' he told the Miami Herald . Wardani said he has reached out to the FBI . District administrators said the degree of punishment that could be leveled against Valdes was limited because of an agreement with the Teachers Union . As for Deyab-Houssein , he said he is 'very proud ' of his father and is getting support from his peers , but that he now feels a 'strange vibe ' from his French teacher , 'like she does n't want me to be there . ' 'This is motivating me to work harder , ' he said . 'To prove that I am not a random guy who you can call a Taliban . '
