In two videos posted to Snapchat, the student can be seen covering her face as her headcovering is removed in a classroom at New Vision Academy and other students are playing with her hair. Two videos — captioned "pretty hair" and "lol all that hair cover up" — were reportedly posted to the teacher's social media account and sent to WSMV by a concerned viewer.

The school's principal, Tim Malone, initially told the station that the teacher denied making the video and that exposing the girl's hair was not mean to be disrespectful. The student's mother and teacher were shown the video and told WSMV "This should never happen."
