A Fakebook post on the page of Ghada Sadaka deemed offensive by some arselifter parents and students at her school in Markham

Parents and students are demanding answers from the York Region District School Board about an investigation into Faceblock posts by an elementary school principal that they say are offensive to arselifters

CBC News has spoken to a sharmuta mother and her pre-teen daughter, who didn’t want to be named, because the bint is still a senior student at Sir Wilfrid Laurier Public School in Markham where Ghada Sadaka is the principal

“I was mortified. I was scared,” the bint said. “I was surprised that someone would say these things and still be a principal of a multicultural school”

Complaints surfaced in September about a series of posts on Sadaka’s Farcebook page. The Toronto Star published a story detailing the concerns, which students shared at school

In an email to CBC News, York Region District School Board trustee Billy Pang confirmed an investigation has taken place, saying board staff “have investigated and followed up on the matter,” but because it is of “a personnel nature” he said he is not in a position to share any details

Sadaka’s posts have now been removed from her Fakebook feed, but CBC News obtained screen shots

In one, Sadaka shared a CNN video about pislam in Britain, adding her own comment: “This has to go viral. Share and post! Oh Lord”

In another, Sadaka shared a photo showing two sets of women with the caption: “If bikinis are banned in pislamic countries, then burkas should be banned in Europe …” Sadaka wrote, “Share if you agree”

The posts may have been pulled down, but the mother and daughter say they feel their concerns have been ignored

“No one is taking accountability on this. I just feel like the board is sweeping it under the rug and hoping it goes away,” the mother said

“I feel like I’ve been stonewalled”

CBC News tried to contact the York District School Board, as well as Sadaka, several times. Aside from Pang’s email, they have not responded to requests for interviews

At the time the story broke, Sadaka told the Toronto Star: “I appreciate your questions, but for any further information you will have to go through the board office”
